Welcome back to another episode of Power Talks,
the podcast where we explore the big, small, and sometimes unexpected parts of life.
Today, we're diving into a quote from the legendary poet Robert Frost.
Robert Frost was an iconic American poet,
known for his deep, thought-provoking works about nature,

(00:28):
life, and human experiences.
Frost won four Pulitzer Prizes
and became one of the most celebrated poets in American literature.
Today, we're focusing on his profound quote,
In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life.
It goes on.
Now, let's take a moment to let that sink in.

(00:50):
It goes on.
Three little words, but oh, do they pack a punch.
Because, if we're being honest,
life can feel like a rollercoaster at times, right?
One minute, you're on top of the world,
and the next, you're facing a curveball that leaves you dizzy.
Whether it's a tough breakup, a job you didn't get, or just a bad day,

(01:11):
we've all been there.
But Frost's words?
They remind us that no matter what, life just keeps moving.
It's like those times when you're deep in your feelings,
and someone tells you,
hey, don't worry, time heals everything.
You roll your eyes, but deep down, you know they're kind of right.

(01:32):
Because, eventually, things do shift.
The days pass, the seasons change,
and little by little, things get better.
Even when it doesn't seem like it at first.
Life has this funny way of going on, even when we're not ready for it.
And here's the thing.
It's not about ignoring your emotions or pretending everything's fine.

(01:54):
It's about accepting that life goes on.
Whether we're in the middle of our highs or our lows,
there's something kind of freeing in that thought.
It's like when you spill coffee on your favorite shirt,
and at first, you're devastated.
But then, you remind yourself,
this too shall pass,
and in a day or two, you're over it.

(02:16):
Life doesn't stop for your coffee stain,
and it sure doesn't stop for your tough moments either.
So, let's take a lesson from Robert Frost today.
Life goes on.
When the rough patch is hit,
it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling.
But remember, time is on your side.
Whether you're climbing a mountain or crawling through a valley,

(02:38):
the next chapter is always just around the corner.
