Turn on Your Inner Light!
Walk into a totally dark room. What do you see? “Absolutely nothing,” you say. Now, turn on the light. Where did the darkness go? Really – where is it now? Hopefully you will agree that darkness cannot exist in the face of light.
During a lifetime, we experience many types of “darkness.” It may appear in the form of discouragement, fear, hopelessness, grief, ignorance, or poverty. Yet, in every case, there is a “light” in which such darkness cannot exist.
Fear, for example, cannot exist in the face of courage. Education denies ignorance any chance of survival. Grief disappears in the presence of peace-of-mind. Discouragement ceases when hope prevails. Wealth denies poverty its chance.
No matter what form darkness takes, it cannot exist when faced with its opposite. That also means we have the ability to send darkness on its way at any point in time. No matter how overwhelming the darkness appears, it is our thoughts and our minds that ultimately control the outcome. How powerful is that?
There are so many other great thoughts to simplify this idea:”Think you can, think you can’t, either way you’re right.” “Your life is what your thoughts make of it.” “We are what we think about all day long.” No matter how you say it, “light” thinking will be covered by the dark thoughts if you let them. Encourage yourself and your life with only thoughts of light and goodness. In other words, leave the light on.
