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."
And as always,
don't forget to
start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is
going to
happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!"
And when ending
your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do
to
make today matter?
