Aristotle once said it is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

The superlative

It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.

It is during Our hardest moments are most difficult challenges.

That we must trust that this moment will not last forever.

In our most difficult moments, we must remember that this moment will pass.

We should remind ourselves that all difficult moments pass.

We don't know what this will mean in the greater perspective of our life.

Not only is a child who was scared of imaginary monsters under the bed, but as an adult too, to live the human experience means to live both in the light and in the dark.

Mother nature shows us this polarity in many ways.

Day and night, oceans and deserts, summer and winter When we are living in the light, life is good.

We know who we are and where we are headed.

We can see clearly while we want to spend most of our days in the light.

That is in positive emotions like joy, happiness and gratitude.

It is an inevitable part of life that at times we will experience the opposite.

There has to be darkness in order to appreciate the light.

Just as there needs to be struggle and hard times to truly appreciate the good times.

But what happens when darkness descends on your life, maybe you lose your job or a relationship fails.

Maybe your mental health takes a steep decline.

Sometimes there seems to be no good reason for this to be happening.

However, it happens when we find ourselves in the darkness.

It can feel as though there's no hope for the future, motivation disappears.

It has taken me many cycles of light and dark in my life to understand that in the moments of darkness in our lives we are not lost.

We are simply learning a new way of being.

When a tree that has spent all summer blossoming in the sunshine begins to feel the inevitable pinch of the autumn air on its leaves.

No, it changes the inner knowing of the tree allows itself to surrender to the world around it with grace.

The tree allows its leaves to change color, shrivel and fall away.

All the while knowing that this is not the end.

Just a new beginning, even though it may be hurting.

The tree knows that come spring as the air begins to warm and the light gets brighter, new growth will come and that is exactly what happens as the season changes.

After the months of darkness the tree flourishes for another season.

But perhaps because we fear change, we resist the dark winters of our experience.

What if instead of resisting the dark times, you embrace them as a time of rest, renewal and regeneration?

What if you could learn to love the darkness in your life as much as you love the light.

The thing is without the darkness, you may never grow into the bigger, bolder, more beautiful version of who you are.

We all know the stories of inspiring amazing people who have turned their challenges into triumphs.

We've heard countless stories of struggle and hard times that turned into powerful strength that shaped beautiful lives.

Would those people have been able to achieve such greatness?

Had they not been forced into the darkness when we experienced difficulties, it is important not to try to avoid them.

We must learn to embrace them as an integral part of our life experience.

Ask, how can I see this from a different perspective that will help me feel better.

You always have the choice to trust the process of your life, trust in the universe to support you and believe in your heart that the light will return?

You can trust and believe that your life is a miracle.

Even if you don't always understand it, the darkness is not the end.

It is simply a chance to grow into the person you need to be when the light breaks through.

If you are in the darkness today, I want you to know that I see you, you are loved.

No matter how hard it seems, you are worthy of joy and you can get through this light is never far away.
