A friend told me a sad story recently. I thought about the tale, and in the end, noted that the only way to respond to such a situation is to create some light, some levity, some joy, and some positivity. We all face challenge and struggle in life--that's part of the life journey, and we all have some choice as to how we deal with life's challenges.
As we think of the challenges we face, we have to think about how we might create light in those situations as light leads us ahead rather than forcing us to stay mired in the challenges that exist. So how might we create light?
First, it's important to make sure that you are not creating greater challenge or contributing to the darkness in any way. Assess the situation, and make the corrections necessary.
Next, consider the elements of the situation, and determine how you might reconnect those elements in ways that create joy and happiness. Creating opportunities for joy is and happiness is essential to good living.
Onward.
