It isn’t the easy road that brings new light.

Suffering isn’t the same as choosing to to embrace self pity and bitterness.

To choose fearlessness is to choose faith.Accepting and moving through emotional and spiritual pain is what ignites and strengthens compassion.It helps to forge connections with our better selves and with those around us.It teaches that a single act does have a ripple effect.Again, strengthening compassion and encouraging us to step outside of ourselves.

The desire to push ourselves beyond the familiar and comfortable is born and reborn.Expansion of the mind and spirit follow.This brings a,seemingly,new light in hope and sense of purpose.

The light was there all along.It simply becomes dim at times when we nurture the ego over spirit and intuition.
