From the mind of critic: “If there is always light at the end of the tunnel, if it is always coldest and darkest before the dawn, is it mandatory that it be cold, dark and strenuous before the light? Are we required by the unwritten rules of the universe to endure hardships, adveristy, persecution, extreme odds and danger before we’re even considered worthy of the light? Or all of us deserved of light, but some of us just have harder and more extreme paths to get there? Gaining motivation to help us push forward on our journey can be quite an accomplishment, until we figurre out that sustaining that motivation is more challenging, because it’s how we enact many of the goals we attempt to describe. Sometimes we hit roadblocks that are placed from the outside and some from the inside, but this is when picturing the light overpowering the darkness can be useful. If we don’t picture the good times and how they have been and most importantly how they will be implemented, how do we ever expect to make it through the bad times? All of us have the blues from time to time, that’s normal. We all have our crosses to bare and our battles to fight, it’s how we react to them that matters. We could get lost in the darkness and swallowed up, or we could push through because the slivers of light we see when we’re paying attention, are examples of what’s to come. We might also believe that light only exists amongst the darkness, and if we feel light during times that aren’t completely terrible, it must be fake. Many of us have lessons to learn so we can be honest, open and conscious people. We just have varying degrees of darkness we must overcome that appear in infinite ways. We must remember to never put somebody down if they’re further behind in the process than us. To create light, we have to be light, it will attract others and prove we don’t need a tunnel, we could be living in light right now. It is our choice, we just have to figure out if light or dark is better for fulfilling our dreams” 🙂
