Do you know that the darker it is around you, the more your light is needed? It just takes one light to make a big difference, when there is darkness all around. When you find yourself among others who are angry, hateful, resentful, discouraged, and cynical, that is when you can make the most difference by staying positively focused. Be the light. The more you are surrounded by negativity, the darkness, the more impact you can have by being positive, and shining through the darkness.
It is not easy. We often find ourselves reacting to negativity by being negative. That just escalates the despair. Your reaction is a choice. You can choose not to react or you can choose to follow your own course. Just because those around you are in darkness, does not mean that you too must be in darkness. Focus on being the light. The light reveals possibilities. It make obstacles less menacing. It makes the situation clearer and easier to understand. Strive to be the light.
When those around you are frustrated and impatient, choose to be extra calm and composed. When those around you are angry, choose to be the voice of reason and compassion. When those around you are discouraged, choose to offer hope. If there is negative energy all around you, choose to see it as an opportunity. Consider how much of a difference you can make with your positive thoughts and actions. Turn on your own light, and those nearby cannot help but see. Remember the darker it is around you, the brighter your light will shine. Choose to be a difference, and you will make a difference.
