The Sun Will Rise

Chances are you've experienced some dark moments in your life. No one is exempt from pain on the adventure, it serves to create pockets of depth that can later be filled with light. It is the darkness that shapes you. It breaks the coarse covering of your surface self and gives way to the luminous being within.

Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. Feel the pain and then release it. Let the bittersweet experience, like the memory of a kiss, linger in your awareness long enough to point you to what wants to happen next.

Resisting ‘what is' most often creates unnecessary anguish. The habit of control and insisting that life shape itself to you, is bound to create opportunities for awakening.

Whenever you find yourself lost in the spiral of suffering, see it as an opportunity to surrender your current point of view. Just like the rising of the sun and the movement of the tides, your essence moves with the rhythm of life. Activate the light that lives within.
