The darkest day

Posted on by philipdodson

Today is the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. For many, the current world is dark and getting darker. The mind brings dark and fearful thoughts if we attach to them.

Like everything in life, nature, the universe…there is light and dark, one cannot exist without the other. We can choose to accept and welcome both. Without dark, we can not experience light.

There has to be the opposite for something to exist, so when we feel darkness, light will come, always. It is the Yin and Yang.

The other thing, the more dark something becomes, the more light will come.

All the darkness that people may well be feeling is all temporary, nothing lasts. A great light is coming for the human race and we can all be part of that lightening.

It’s a choice, to look for the light in everything and to accept the darkness as what it is.

Every day will be lighter from today and it can be within ourselves too if we let the light of our essence shine and leave the darkness of our thoughts to be.

Want to change something?

If we want to change something, and of course, that is our choice completely, then we have to be prepared to make sacrifices and to build habits.

Nothing will change by chance and no point in relying on ‘gurus’, books, or others. Change is our responsibility alone and is an inside job.

When we choose something we want to change, then we have to monitor how we behave in regards to the change we want to make. No good if we want to be more patient, for example, and not noticing when we are still impatient. We can choose to carry on with the short-term ‘easy’ of ‘well, I’ll change that later’ or we can say to ourselves ‘I see that is not how I want to behave now, and I’m going to endeavour to not do that again’.

Change is always personal and if we feel there is nothing to change, that’s ok too as none of us are broken. However, unless we take constant regular steps towards making a change and monitoring it, then it won’t happen.
