Keeping Your Light Shining Despite Negativity

Sometimes, when we are feeling good about ourselves, others may seem to bring negativity that dims our shine. This can be challenging, but remember, your light is your own. Like a lighthouse, it’s meant to shine brightly, guiding not just yourself but also others through the dark. Keeping your faith and continuing to reach inward can strengthen that light. Here’s a thought to consider:

“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

It’s important to remember that the divine presence, like light, is always with you, illuminating your path and offering strength in moments of solitude or challenge. When you cultivate this inner light, no external darkness can overpower it. Engage in prayer, reflection, and connection with your deeper self to maintain this light. Even in the face of adversity or loneliness, your inner strength, supported by faith and the unseen aid of ancestors and the divine, can guide you to peace and fulfillment.
