Like the Sun, the light is always shining within, but sometimes we have to pass through some dark clouds to see it.

Hang on. Don’t be fooled by the darkness; when we pass through, it’s sometimes an indication that we are moving closer to that light. We will never be left in the dark. We all push through eventually and blossom. It’s our destiny to blossom.

I know it can seem challenging, but the best way I’ve seen to pass through those dark clouds is to learn not to fight them. Fighting them is like shadowboxing; when I punch, my shadow punches, but when I lay down my arms, so does the shadow.

One of the most common ways we shadowbox is by saying, “This shouldn’t have happened. It’s not supposed to go this way. This should be different, etc.” As soon as we do this, our arms are up, so the fight begins.

I found it helpful instead to get quiet, look within, and say, “Okay, how can I see this differently right here and now? The light is shining regardless of how this dark cloud appears. How can I see this differently so I can SEE the light that IS shining?”

Sometimes the clouds part very quickly, and sometimes I have to be very vigilant for quite a long time, but there are no clouds that won’t eventually give way to the light.
