Isn't funny , how one day we live in total sunlight and the next in overcast and complete shadow ? This is the latter most accomplishment of dreamers though isn't it. Aren't we destined to look beyond the clouds and darkness rather than the blackness itself? And although it is difficult some how some way , we are enabled by the strength within us to continue to strive for a 'better day'. A day where we can look towards the sky and total brightness is tangible in our reach. Funny, because we have moments where that possibility seems manifested. Where we live in total sunlight and then from one day to the next : darkness creeps upon us. And we are blinded.
It i sad almost. How we are never truly prepared to fully accept the darkness. How we almost trick our own selves into believing that everything will remain OK. Why is it that we do not prepare ourselves for what should be already an expectation. The cycle is repetitive. Days, weeks, minutes, of happiness. And then suddenly when everything in this world seems like perfection, the world turns upside down.
I am convinced, however, that this is due to our own "Self Fulfilling Prophecy". A self fulfilling prophecy is one that is manifested through our own unconscious mind. If we fail to acknowledge that there is a possibility of something negative happening, then it will happen when we least expect it. It is better that we prepare ourselves both mentally and spiritually for the disappointment than to have to depress ourselves with the unannounced.
Personaly, I have learned to maneuver through the pain with three most important virtues. They include : courage , hope, and faith. The courage to continue striving for a better day. Hope that the possibility of a betetr day is the day you woke up. And faith that tommorrow actually exists.
" tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worst than the suffering itself, and that no heart has ever suffered when in search of its dreams. "
