In the middle of a difficulty lies opportunity.

But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.

God will not permit any troubles to come upon us unless He has a specific plan by which great blessing can come out of the difficulty.

Sleeping is so hard when you can’t stop thinking.

It’s a rare book that wins the battle against drooping eyelids.

To lead you need to empathise, to empathise you need to genuinely understand, to understand you need to be willing to have difficult conversations.

Loyalty is hard to find; trust is easy to lose.

If you are having a hard time… just hang on! It will get better – a lot better. It really will!

I just follow God’s lead. One step, one day and one opportunity at a time. The hardest part is not becoming distracted.

If you alter yourself, there are no difficulties, only opportunities to grow and start over again.

Do not pray for an easy life; pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Difficult times produce strong men and women. Keep on your struggle to achieve your dreams!

The time might be difficult right now, but I know it will not stay forever and I know I can survive it by a simple

Your hardest times of often lead to the greatest moments of your life. Keep going tough situations build strong people in the end.

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

No one happily welcomes a complete change. There’s no doubt that it can be scary, but nothing is scarier than staying stagnant just because you’re

Change can be good but it’s always tough to let go of the past.

Starting over is the hardest thing, but a quest to a new life is better when we start by letting go of all that hurts

Moving on is a simple thing, what it leaves behind is hard.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t letting go but rather learning to start over.

I don’t envy you, lady. That is one bad curse. Curses are tough. You’re gonna have a very hard time getting rid of that one.

I hate people who can go to sleep as soon as they close their eyes. Like, that takes me 4 hours, 600 position changes, and

Being away from everyone else may be lonely, but being away from you will be even lonelier.

Well, I had a chip on my shoulder back then. I was like a lion that hadn’t been fed. A problem child that was too much for my teachers and parents to handle. I wonder why it’s so easy to “go bad”? Before I knew it, I’d joined “the ladies”. […] We beat people up, got beat up, started fires, got chased by the cops…to be honest, if I told you everything we did, it’d make your hair stand on end. The point is, I was an unrepentant moron. But even so, there was one person I idolized. That was Kyoko-san.

Please, just one more thing. Uo-chan’s my friend and it’s hard to see her hurting, So at least take this. Here [hands Kureno a note],

When somebody is important to you, there are times where it can be hard, times when where they may feel lonely… but in the end,

I just… Needed to get outside of that place. I’ve been a little exhausted by it all. ‘I just wanted a little escape.’ I didn’t

It’s not easy being old.

Thinking about you and how far apart we are, makes my heart skip a beat. How long must I suffer before seeing you again?

A peaceful beginning of the day is enough to calm your nerves and prepare your mind for the upcoming hassles. Good Morning!

Worry is blind and cannot discern the future, but Jesus sees the end from the beginning. In every difficulty He has His way prepared to bring relief.

Rough seas cannot make me waver.

You need strength to start all over again.

Truckin’ ain’t easy.

If the work of our sanctification presents us with difficulties that appear insurmountable, it is because we do not look at it in the right way. In reality, holiness consists in one thing alone, namely, fidelity to God’s plan. And this fidelity is equally within everyone’s capacity in both its active and passive exercise.

Life wasn’t meant to be easy.

From age 7 to about 37, I had a normal life and not a very easy one.

Everything God ever asks you to do, even if it’s difficult, He asks because He has something great in mind for you.

I’m a trucker because I don’t mind handwork. If I wanted to do something easy, I would do your job.

The strongest men are those who have endured the most difficult challenges in their lives.

Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

The fitful sleeping makes the hours pass slowly; it seems to me the night has many nights in it―has years of nights!―through which, as if through drifts of smoke, I am compelled to stumble.

One of the hardest things for a man to find is a good wife and a good barber.

You are my anchor when the waves come crashing down.

It’s hard to sleep at night when there’s so many thoughts going through your head.

Family is the anchor that holds us through life’s storms.

When you’re going through your rough time
Maybe I could be your lifeline
Keep your head up, when you’re down.

Sometimes I’m trying to focus on what you’re saying but all I can think about is how badly I want to see you naked.

In troubled times one wishes for a sound sleep more than usual, but, realizing its amplified importance, sleep smugly impedes all attempts to woo it.

The night is the hardest time to be alive and 4 a.m. knows all my secrets.

If you ever asked me to pick between you and my dreams, I wouldn’t know what to say because being with you is my only dream. I love you.

I thought about breakups, how difficult they were, but then usually it was only after you broke up with one woman that you met another. I had to taste women in order to really know them, to get inside of them. I could invent men in my mind because I was one, but women, for me, were almost impossible to fictionalize without first knowing them. So I explored them as best I could and I found human beings inside. The writing was only a residue. A man didn’t have to have a woman in order to feel as real as he could feel, but it was good if he knew a few. Then when the affair went wrong he’d feel what it was like to be truly lonely and crazed, and thus know what he must face, finally, when his own end came.

You make it kinda hard not to stare.

Ugh, it’s too hard for me to fall asleep tonight. It’s probably because you’re not here next to me. I miss you so much and wish I could have your strong arms wrapped around me while I sleep. I love you, goodnight.

The hardest thing is to go to sleep at night, when there are so many urgent things needing to be done.

I cannot promise you that it will be easy, but I can promise you that it will be very good in the end.

You will always be my favourite hello and hardest goodbye. P.S. I will always love you.

You’re my favorite hello and my hardest goodbye.

Just because I’m not forever by your side doesn’t mean that’s not precisely where I want to be.

Is it so hard to die, Mr. Lewis? Is that labyrinth really worse than this one?

Starting over again
New set of silverware, new set of friends
It’s hard as hell if you don’t know where to begin
Starting over again.

“No,” I said. And maybe it was only because Alaska couldn’t hit the brakes and I couldn’t hit the accelerator.

And then I was asleep. That deep, can-still-taste-her-in-my-mouth sleep, that sleep that is not particularly restful but is difficult to wake from all the same.

And now we’re starting over again
It’s not the easiest thing to do
I’m feeling inside again
‘Cause every time I look at you
I know we’re starting over again
This time we’ll love all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again.

Birthing is never easy or without pain, be it a universe, a child, or a fresh start in life. Contraction precedes expansion. Darkness comes before dawn. Joy follows pain. This is the way of things.

No matter how hard the past is, you can always begin again.

The world had somehow gone too far, and spontaneous kindness could never be so easy. It was something we would all have to work for once again.

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.

I’ve never met a strong person with an easy past.

Pray to become strong enough to overcome all adversities of life.

Strong men greet war, tempest, hard times. They wish, as Pindar said, to tread the floors of hell, with necessities as hard as iron.

I would say that God is much bigger than all of this. I’ve been through difficult times where it just seems like hope is nowhere to be found, but those are some of the greater moments where we run to Christ a little faster and hang on a little tighter. Through the hardest times in life, I hope people turn to him and realize he’s still a sovereign God; he’s in control.

I’m going harder than coming out of the closet to conservative Christian fathers.

I go on tour and it hurts, I miss the days when this was fun but now it turned into work.

It is during your most difficult times that you need your faith, so keep your head up and feel God’s comforting presence.

During tough times I can always go back to it and find encouragement. The Bible tells us what God says about us. In it, we read about how much he loves us and that he’s got a plan and a purpose for our lives.

It is true that He does sometimes require of us things that to others seem hard. But when the will is once surrendered, the revolutionized life plans become just the plans that are most pleasant, and the things that to others seem hard, are just the things that are easiest and most delightful. Do not let Satan deceive you into being afraid of God’s plans for your life.

Know when things get tough that all things work out for the best of them who know and love Him. Know that God is in charge.

Although life may not be easy now, in the end, everything will get better in time.

Hope — Hope in the face of difficulty. Hope in the face of uncertainty. The audacity of hope! In the end, that is God’s greatest gift to us… A belief in things not seen. A belief that there are better days ahead.

Truck driving is a hard profession requiring long hours and weeks from home.

Some people go out of their way to make the truck driver’s job harder than it already is. You might think their job is easy.. well it can be physically. But stop to think a minute about the mental stress on this job that a truck driver goes through everyday.

People underestimate their capacity for change. There is never a right time to do a difficult thing.

The things that are not easy for me to talk about and express, I express through my music. I’m just very serious about my art.

To change your life ― you MUST change your paradigm. The change is not easy, but it’s worth it, and the results are lasting.

You can become all God created you to be even if you’ve had difficulties, even if you weren’t born into a good, loving family, God still has a plan for your life.

Do I fear the sleepless nights? You have no idea how long the dark lasts when you cannot close your eyes to it.

A lot of stress, lots of that. Sleepless nights, the waiting is the hardest.

If it was an overnight success, It was one long, hard, sleepless night.

In times of unrest and in an unstable economy, it is very easy to let your attitude slip and begin feeling sorry for yourself. This is precisely when you want to practice healthy attitudinal rules to stay alert, alive and enthusiastic. Don’t ever lose the zest for life and life won’t lose its zest for you. Say something positive to every person you meet today.

I sometimes suffer from insomnia. And when I can’t fall asleep, I play what I call the alphabet game.

Smile, it maybe hard now, but do believe that things will only get better. Not worse.

It’s gonna get harder before it gets easier. But it will get better, you just gotta make it through the hard stuff first.

Starting over from scratch again isn’t always an easy task, but I assure you, it will always be worth it.

Not for the weak, cause this ain’t no 9 to 5.

The things that are most difficult for me to put into words and speak about, I put into my music. I’m just super passionate about my craft and super passionate about what I do.

It’s taken me a long time to own the early part of my life.

How will we ever get out of this labyrinth of suffering?

…If Tohru-chan were to die, I… I wonder if I’d be able to smile again one year later. Or if I’d wish that I could forget ever having met her. …Tohru-chan… has tried really hard…

There are things that take a long time to acquire. Friends. Love. Really, nothing has been a waste.

They say that we should love ourselves first, before other people learn to love us, but it’s not as easy as it seems. Sometimes, we need someone to accept us and love us first, then we would learn to see ourselves through that person’s eyes and learn to love our-self.

It’s not always easy to see the good in people. In some people, you might even doubt that it’s there at all. But if you can somehow, find a way to believe…sometimes that’s all it takes to help someone, to give them the strength to find the good in themselves.

I am a truck driver. I am no different from you. The only difference you and I have is you go home to your family everynight while I am delivering the goods your family and mine need and want! So stop treating us truck drivers like criminals! Our job is tough enough without your added, unnecessary rudeness!

So, you think that I just drive a truck?
13 gears
18 wheels
40 tons
65 feet long
500 horsepower
1800 LBS of torque
DO THE MATH!

The only thing tougher than a Trucker is a Trucker’s Wife.

Can’t drive all night.

And, anyway, we didn’t know how much it might mean. Last words are always harder to remember when no one knows that someone’s about to die.

An insomniac finds it hard to fall asleep at night, and even harder to stay awake by day.

Insomnia is invisible
but hard as concrete.

Don’t be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That’s only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.

The hardest part is starting. Once you get that out of the way, you’ll find the rest of the journey much easier.

Meriwether Lewis’s last words were, ‘I am not a coward, but I am so strong. So hard to die.’ I don’t doubt that it is, but it cannot be much harder than being left behind.

The hardest part about pranking, Alaska told me once, is not being able to confess. But I could confess on her behalf now. And as I slowly made my way out of the gym, I told anyone who would listen, “No. It wasn’t us. It was Alaska.”

Having love for your enemy is a hard thing to do, real talk.

Change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end.

As we journey through this life – through the easy times and the painful times – God is fashioning us into people who are like his Son, Jesus. That means God is in the process of changing what we desire far more than he is in the process of giving us what we desire.

I’m harder than DJ Khaled playing the fucking quiet game
The fuck am I saying? Tyler’s not even a violent name
About as threatening as stained windbreakers in hurricanes.

Silence is one of the hardest arguments to refute.

It’s a long struggle when you’re starting over.

Truck drivers: No rich parents, no assistance, no handouts, no favours. Straight hustle all day, everyday!

The pattern of insomnia in children reflects difficulty in getting to sleep, whereas with adults it’s a problem staying asleep.

Seriously, who falls asleep that quickly? Imagine being able to sleep without listening to a true crime podcast episode or immersing yourself in your imaginary dreamworld for at least an hour.

I tried and tried to sleep, lulled by the movement, the purring of the motor, and the snores of the other passengers, but it’s never been easy for me to sleep, and much less now, when I still have residues of the wild life running through my veins.

Not being able to sleep is a nightmare.

Hours into the night, sleepless Elijah sat up in his bed and rubbed his face trying to put his thoughts and feelings together. He went into the kitchen, turned on the light, and poured himself a cup of milk. He gulped it after taking a deep breath trying to ease the perturbed feeling in his stomach and the weight in his chest.

Insomnia, then, is not just a state of sleeplessness, a matter of negatives. It involves the active pursuit of sleep. It is a state of longing.

Between the midnight and the morning: on a given day, that’s the hardest stretch of time to fill.

Insomnia is only mind over mattress.

How do you turn this thing off? Ouch!

Well Marie, once again my dear, you were as right as rain. I am, with out a doubt, the biggest pain in the butt that ever came down the pike. I meet someone whose company I really enjoy, and what do I do? I go overboard. I smother the poor soul. I cause him more trouble than he has a right to. God, I got a big mouth. When am I ever gonna wake up? I wish you were here with me right now. But… I guess that’s not gonna happen. Not now, anyway.

You have to find something. Something that anchors you, something that keeps you looking forward. Even on the bad days, the days when you’re tempted to look back.

Barber: The hardest part of my job is being nice to people who think they know how to do my job.

There may come a time when you believe you have reached the end of the road in the darkest night. That will be the moment when a dazzling new day dawns on your horizon.

A barber cannot use his skills on himself.

It’s hard to find a barber who doesn’t talk when cutting your hair.

When things get tough, remember to be grateful for them. At those moments, you learn and progress. When things get tough, remember to be grateful for what you can learn from your limits. It would help if you were grateful for each new obstacle because it will help you grow in strength and character. Be grateful for your errors. You’ll learn a lot from them.

When you arrive in L.A. as an Englishman, you might as well be on the moon. People just don’t understand you if you speak too fast, and most people there think you’re Australian. Ordering was incredibly complicated. I was speechless.

Nothing you can know that isn’t known
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be
It’s easy

The hardest thing about the business is minding your own.

I’m sure we’re gonna meet some bumps in the road, but if it’s meant to be it will happen.

How hard it is to make an Englishman acknowledge that he is happy!

I’m Kenny Powers! And I am very upset with how I am acting right now. I just have a very hard time expressing my emotions, and I can’t stop from yelling.

Be yourself today. Compete with not another soul. It’s hard to stay in your lane when you’re looking everywhere else but forward.

When it’s not meant to be, the journey will be that much more difficult and uphill.
