Darkness sweeps into my psyche like a tornado cloud. I am alone but not aware. I am going to look into this darkness and see myself as I really am and once and for all find the way to overcome this darkness. For what has cursing this situation, feeling depressed and afraid about the circumstances, and down on myself and others, what has that type of thinking ever done me? Has it ever brought a sense of peace, calmness, or joy?
So today I will try to take that pain, sadness, and disappointment that I am cursing and rejecting, and instead try to accept it bring it up and out of the darkness. Today let us take conscious mental steps in the direction of our victory over our own thoughts, and with trust and courage acknowledge that there is nothing we are given, nothing we consciously or unconsciously bring into our life, that we cannot overcome.
