Generating Hope From Darkness



"Maybe we all have darkness inside of us and some
of us are better at dealing with it than others."
Jasmine Warga



Like attracts like, so if we are beaming goodness out into the world, we will be attracting it back towards us.  Maybe not right in the moment, but eventually our kindness will enhance us.  This does not mean that we will not have problems or challenges, but if we have been working through the lens of good intention, we will navigate through our challenges without unnecessary drama and negativity.

Thank goodness we don't all experience darkness at the same time, which allows us to have a reserve to emotionally support others during strife.  We may not be able to resolve the individual issue, but we will patiently hold our positive presence for them.  This generates hope and the desire to not remain stuck.

As we embrace the concept of everyone having both darkness and light, we are less apt to judge.  We will remember that is impossible to know how we would react given the exact same circumstances.  We are simply called to witness the challenges of others and offering a space for positive growth and improvement.
