Have you also noticed how when you turn on the news all you see is pain and disappointment? You see people hurting others and not caring on how it affects them and everyone else in the world.
Every day it seems like humanity is out to get each other. The world seems to have an eye for an eye mentality and destruction has become something that’s so common that it happens daily.

Sometimes the darkness can seem so overwhelming it feels like it’s hard to breathe.

So why not switch things around? Turn out the tv, go outside, go to the forest, sit in nature and surround yourself with everything that mother nature has given us.  Close your eyes and breathe in the fresh air and listen to the sounds of the birds.. be aware of the light which is there to lift you up.  It’s not always easy to see how much light there really is. It’s not always clear where the light is and where you can find it.
But it’s not so hard, because you don’t need to search for it: it’s constant and the light is always there. It’s even more simple than that: YOU are the light. You are that beacon of hope for others. Each time you smile at a child, each time you say thank you or just hold the door open for someone, you bring light into their lives.  It’s all about the little things that bring happiness to others and when you spread joy you will instantly shine brighter.

So keep shining that light from within you for others to see, show everyone how bright you are and don’t hold back.. And when you get lost in the darkness again: take a look within and see the diamond that you are. ❤
