We’ve all heard there is light at the end of the tunnel, spring is coming, or the sun will rise again.
Right now we're being held back by something so hard we can barely see a path forward.
But it’s time to stop allowing it to define and defeat us. We have the power inside to overcome it, but sometimes we forget. We are in the dead of night and don’t think we’ll ever get out.
But as challenging as it may seem, as hopeless as it may feel, as dark as it may be, the sun is coming, there is light on the other side of that mountain. We just have to go find it.
My son and I love to wrestle and sometimes I'll pin him down. I got him. I can see in his face, he's struggling. He’s done. Held back. But then all of a sudden I see a shift. His eyes catch a little bit of light. And it’s like a spark. Like a dose of morphine or dopamine and all the sudden he believes. And that’s when everything changes.
He'll take my arms out, he'll squirm around. He starts to go after more and more of that light. And within seconds he’s turned everything around and he’s on top.
Honestly, I don’t know how he does it, but I believe it has to do with that glimmer of hope. That little light that changed his belief that he could win.
We’ve all heard Vince Lombardi’s famous quote that “Winners never quit, and quitters never win,” but when you see it in action, it’s pretty inspiring.
So, we have that inside. We have the opportunity when we’re held down by something, beneath something, in the darkest night. We have hope inside.
So don’t give up. Open your eyes to the light that’s coming. Allow the spark to ignite that shift you’ve been waiting for and turn it all around.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, spring is coming, and yes, the sun will rise again. It’s time to rise up and stand in the light and be who you’re meant to be.
Remember, you have the power to shape your destiny, so go out there and make it happen.
