In my quiet moments, I observe nature as it courses through its own life cycle. It is reminiscent of human existence. There are lessons in nature worth my attention.
When the sun shines after a thunderstorm, it brings a sense of renewal and healing. As I bask in the beautiful rays, I also give thought to the darkness that most times precedes them. This consciousness reminds me that each challenge is only for a time.
In the midst of a difficult time, I encourage myself to think of beautiful days ahead. It is the natural progression of life that I see around me.
Instead of allowing the darkness to bring me down, I focus on pushing through it. Although it sometimes feels almost endless, I know with certainty that it is not.
I rely on my knowledge instead of my emotions to take me from the darkness into the light. Nature teaches that everything has its time and place.
I use this knowledge to take me through challenging days at work. Whenever I feel knocked down, I recite positive words to myself. Affirming to myself that I have what it takes gives me the strength to get back up and keep moving.
Affirmations are like rays of sunshine when the darkness feels endless. They provide a boost that uplifts my spirit and renews my willpower.
Today, hope surrounds me because the natural order of life wills me to fill my life with it. It is what keeps my mind positive and my spirit anticipating that great things are on the way.
