At some point in our lives, we’re all going to face that day. It’s a day we dread, a day when something devastating happens, even if we hope it never will. The form of devastation can vary—perhaps it’s the day you lose your job, your home, or your car. Maybe it’s the day you lose a loved one, whether through death or separation. It could be the day you realize you can no longer care for yourself or when you find your finances in ruins. Or, it could be the day you discover that you are completely alone.
Whatever form it takes, we will all have that day. And the harsh truth is that most of us aren’t prepared for it. We spend our lives preparing for success, for joy, and for the good things that happen to us. We embrace the unknowns that come with happiness. But when it comes to devastation, we often don’t prepare because we can’t truly envision what the worst looks like. It rarely comes alone, often arriving with a host of other challenges, forcing us to adapt not just to one hardship, but to many.
However, even in the midst of devastation, we are resilient. We are capable of handling the worst. But to move past the worst-case scenario, we must first get through that devastating day. The only way to do that is to reach the day after.
The day after holds special significance. It’s the confirmation that we’ve weathered the hardest part of the storm. While challenges may still come, the reality is that we’ve made it one day beyond the event we weren’t prepared for. We can step back, assess what happened, and begin figuring out how to move forward.
The truth is, we all look forward to the day after. Even when we’re in the midst of devastation, the day after is a beacon—it means we’ve survived. Don’t get me wrong, the devastation might last a day, a week, a year, or even longer. But with each day after, we get a little stronger. With each day after, we realize what we’re capable of. With each day after, we become more resilient, standing taller in the face of what once seemed insurmountable.
The day itself challenges us. But the day after gives us strength. We’ve survived the storm. Now, we’re ready for the fight.
