Know that bad times will pass. They always do. Rubbish will get tipped into your life, occasionally vats of it, and sometimes this will be your fault and you must try to learn from it. But at other times it will be deeply unfair and all you can do is control the way you respond to it. Speak your piece but don’t complain; draw yourself to your full height. Keep moving, place one foot in front of the other, and know it will pass. If it won’t, do what you can to change it. But walk tall.
