“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.”
Aristotle Onassis
It is so easy to focus on the current situation, our current pains and challenges. During our times of greatest challenge and strife it always seems like there is no end in sight. That we are doomed to stay in the darkness, that the sun will never rise.
Sometimes it feels easier to stay there in the dark. To climb out towards the light is just too much work and effort. But that isn’t why we were created. That isn’t how we grow and learn and become better selves. We are surrendering our ability to become who we were born to be when we lose focus on the light. The darkest moments form us, they create in us the will, the desire, the ability to rise above and become a new and better person.
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” Romans 8:18 ESV
No matter how dark the night the sun always rises. Where do you turn your focus during the dark moments? How do you refresh and refocus yourself?
