There are always two sides to every coin. In life there must always be a balance. Tragedy and triumph can be very tough because they are two sides to the same coin. Often times it can seem like for every triumph we experience, we experience a tragedy. When I say tragedy, that doesn’t always mean death or a major loss. I mean anything that you would consider a major setback. Triumph, defined as anything you would consider a major move or a set up for a major move.

I recently experienced a triumph that was the breakthrough I needed and was looking for. This was going to be the move that would launch me into the next phase of my life. That triumph came with a tragedy. Poor decision making led to a setback that I was not prepared for. I’m still going to celebrate my triumph and prepare myself to transition into the next phase of my life. I’m going to learn from my tragedy and use it as fuel to make some much needed life changes.

Celebrate your triumphs and learn from your tragedies. Sometimes it will seem like you are experiencing nothing but tragedies. Your triumph is coming. Stay strong and stay faithful. Tragedies aren’t meant to destroy us, but they will if we let them. Your triumph is coming. Even if it’s not the major triumph you wanted or was expecting, still celebrate and appreciate it. That small triumph could be the first step into a major triumph. Triumph and tragedy are two sides of the same coin, but the coin will land on both sides equally.
