Be the Light

In a World Full of Darkness, Be the Light

Recently I've gone through a stressful situation.

Truthfully, it sent me to a dark place, a place I haven't been to for many years.

Coming back to that place reminded me of my depression from my late teens and early twenties.

I was just in a funk that I felt like I couldn't get out of.

Sure, on the outside things looked okay.

But inside, turmoil.

Four weeks removed from that event, I'm thinking more clearly.

Although honestly, I still have so much sadness about the situation.

In fact, I know I always will.

I'm okay with that.

But as I've talked to people about it, I've been told to "be the light".

Be the light for the people I have hurt.

Be the light for the people still in my life.

Be the light for those I coach.

Be the light for those I might meet in the future.

Is there any other option?

What should I do, bring more darkness into the world?

Bring darkness to the person I've lost?

I realised that being the light for others is the only option, at least for me.

I need to light the way for others.

So I've put down the darkness.

And I'm stepping into the person I am meant to be.

When in doubt, Be the Light.

Until next time,

Marco
