About This Quote

It’s not over if you’re still here, “Chronicler said. “It’s not a tragedy if you’re still alive.” It is easy to become so focused on the outcome of an event that we forget that living is always better than dying. The outcome of death is often out of our control, but the outcome of life is in our hands. If we say “it’s not over if you’re still here,” then the outcome of our situation might be better than it sounds.

There is a solution to every problem and a way for a problem-free outcome to be found. If we find a way to survive and continue on, then “it’s not over if you’re still here,” but only because we decided that it was going to be.
