It's not
having been in the dark house, but having left it that counts.
~Roosevelt
Good morning!
I was trying to explain the Make Today
Matter and Challenge Life philosophy to someone the other day. One
thing I always want to avoid is people thinking I have a Pollyanna
attitude or that I believe positive thinking can solve every problem
and life will never be painful. Like everyone who reads this, I have
had my share of very dark and painful times. And because life is a
mixture of sun and rain, I will undoubtedly have more difficult
times.
I do believe that we have the power to choose at every turn. When this
quote came through I fell in love with it. It summarized what I believe
about the "dark periods." They will undoubtedly come. There will be
days when the pain is so great we can't challenge life. I think of all
the people I know who have lost loved ones or live with difficult
health conditions. These can be dark times where we cannot find the
strength to turn on the light.
However, I believe as this quote states, we can't avoid the dark
times, but we can avoid making those dark periods a home where we take
up residence. As we challenge life and dark periods come, let us
remember not to stay there too long. Let us always keep our eye on the
door so that we can find our way out in due time.
Your Turn: Are you going through a dark
period now where you have taken up "residence" and lost sight of the
door? If you have been there too long, put on your walking shoes. Find
a support network or join the e-group, and walk outside where the light
is.
Your affirmation: Life has its up and
downs, but I don't have to stay "down."
