Question About Predicate and Is or It's

Hi,

In this sentence, "I like this proverb because it makes me feel better when I have a tough day and no matter how bad today was, everything is going to be better," is the pedicate "is" or "is going to be better?"


Also, in this sentence, "I like this proverb because it's true that you see life differently," why do you use "it's true" and not "is true?"


Thanks.
