That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. You read that right. It’s not a typo on my part. I saw the above affirmation in an Etsy shop as part of an affirmation package (cards I think), and I instantly knew I had to include this little gem in my affirmation buzzkill blog.

But… what if it doesn’t? What if things don’t work out well for you? What if you don’t get that job or the extra income you need? What if your marriage doesn’t work out? What if your child turns out to be a demon, instead of the angel you pictured in your mind when he was two years old? There are a thousand things that can go wrong in your life, and very few things...
