Friday Focus! Each Friday, I will be challenging you to focus on something. This Friday's Focus is not letting darkness dampen your light.
Remember that we have control over how we react to external circumstances and situations. We can't control a lot of things. Recognize this. Recognize what you can control and make the constant commitment to control what you can control to the best of your ability. If you try to be the best you can even amongst a world with lots of darkness in it, your light will shine and will not be corrupted by the darkness. This light may inspire others and help them come out of a dark place. I am going to paraphrase something I heard a brilliant person say. They said something along the lines of, "Light can take away darkness, but darkness can't take away light." This is very powerful and very true. Remember you control your light. You can turn the switch on or off. Just like the stoics see it, an outside event doesn't force you to do anything. At the end of the day, you choose how to respond to situations, especially negative ones. Always choose to carry light with you wherever you go!
Challenge:
Before immediately reacting negatively to something that doesn't go your way today, feel your emotions, refocus on something positive, and then embrace this positivity and light.
Ongoing Challenge:
Try to do this challenge, but for every situation you have that didn't go your way. Then, do this every day!
Be brave. Be strong. Spread your light!
