É preciso que certas coisas corram mal para que outras melhores possam correr bem

Sempre que algo que não desejamos acontece na nossa vida, vemo-lo como a pior coisa do mundo.

You see it as failure and misery. After all, you’ve always tried to be a good person.

You’ve played by the rules and done your best not to hurt anyone along the way.

Então, porque é que tem de enfrentar exatamente todas estas dificuldades?

Isn’t there a thing called karma that should repay you for all of your good deeds?

It’s like this with everything bad you experience in life.

You feel as if everything is pointless when a guy you cared for dumps you, when you lose a friend you trusted, or when you don’t get that promotion you worked so hard for.

You can’t help but get the impression that life is simply unfair.

Bad things happen to good people and vice versa and you don’t have the power required to fight it.

After all, who could blame you for feeling like this? In fact, it’s perfectly natural for you to be shaken by the world’s injustice.

However, I’m here to ask you to reconsider your point of view.

I’m here to beg you to look at the bigger picture and bear in mind that everything happens por uma razão.

Por vezes, certas coisas têm de correr mal para que coisas melhores possam correr bem.

A man who doesn’t deserve you has to walk away from you in order to clear the way for the right one.

He has to show you what you don’t want and need so you are able to recognize true love when you see it.

Maybe you didn’t get that job you applied for because your dream career is waiting for you.

Ou teria acabado por ser apenas uma distração de algo maior?

It’s possible that your best friend stabbed you in the back because it was the only way for you to see her true colors.

The only way for you to finally kick her out of your life and to realize that you shouldn’t trust everybody.

Por vezes, é preciso atravessar a escuridão para ver as verdadeiras cores das estrelas.

Temos de perder algo indigno de nós para podermos obter coisas muito mais valiosas.

Além disso, tudo isto proporciona um lição e uma nova experiência.

Every storm you go through is there to prepare you for the sunshine that’s about to come.

Cada desafio é uma oportunidade para sermos melhores e cada batalha uma oportunidade para nos tornarmos mais fortes.

It’s there to build you into a mature, self-sufficient woman. There to show you that you can make it without anyone’s help.

It’s there to test your faith. To help you believe and always hope for the best, even when everything looks hopeless.

So the next time you think that you’ve had it rough, remember that every curse can actually be a blessing.

It’s simply up to you how you perceive it. Por vezes, as coisas que vemos como as piores acabam por ser as melhores.

Só temos de ser suficientemente pacientes para deixar que o tempo faça a sua magia e nos faça ver tudo por nós próprios.

Prometo-vos uma coisa: cada lágrima que chorarem será recompensada com toneladas de sorrisos.

Sadness will be replaced with so much happiness you can’t even imagine it. You just have to be ready for it.

O o momento tem de ser o correto e tudo se vai encaixar. Mais cedo ou mais tarde, começarão a acontecer coisas boas.

Once they do, you’ll finally understand my words – that you probably don’t believe right now.

When you get everything you deserve, you’ll understand that this was the only way to acquire happiness.

You’ll realize why you had to go through all of your hardships and why you had to experience so much pain.

Finally, you’ll perceive that your entire life was actually a sequence of events that were meant to bring you exactly to the point you are at now.

You’ll figure out that all the bad things you went through happened for a reason.

Assim, num instante, tudo fará todo o sentido.
