Enlightenment: Part One

Written a couple weeks ago:

"Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light" John 12:36

I think that this applies to all human beings, so whether or not you are religious, it's not entirely relevant. During meditation the other day, I repeated this verse over and over, and it became really apparent to me (or at least my perception of it). It's simple in essence; life is full of different moments both happy and sad and in order to overcome the sad, we must hold on to the happy. It could be applied to so many situations.

I may sound lame or pretentious, but it is true.

Think of how you feel during the best, most fulfilling moments of your life; the rushing sense of relaxation and contentment.

If you embrace that, and hold on to it, you could apply it in order to become strong and pull through the stressful shit times. You can keep a clear head in order to grasp the bigger picture and not only overcome, yet resolve your poor situation

I have experienced this immensely lately, and I can say full on that being strong and embracing the good in my life, instead of falling and being consumed by the situation, was very beneficial. It helped me to become a better person and is allowing me to become who I really want to be.
