history: I went through a lot of hard times in my life. Lost my job, injured my knee, lost someone dear. But I always believed things would get better. I went through some pretty tough times. Still_comma_ I believed things would get better eventually.  it is a good sign of positivity i guess.. 
current: Absolutely. Things did get better as a matter of fact. 
next: yes.. only thing we should do is to be patience and the rest will be okay ..
