Finding the Good in the Darkness
We Can Always Find A Silver Lining
There’s a third aspect of illuminating the darkness, even when we’re at a low point, and that is when we look with all our might for the good within that situation—challenging ourselves to find the good. If we look hard enough, we will find much good in even the toughest of situations.
I once heard from an individual who works very long hours—mamash from morning till night, every day of the week, including Sunday and Friday, who told me: “I don’t want to be the kind of person who has the liberty to decide, ‘I want to take a nap at eleven o’clock in the morning.’ I don’t want to be the person who can say ‘Today, I’m not going into work.’... I just don’t want to be a person who has an empty day and doesn’t have anything better to do. I would prefer to be occupied, even if it means being harried and busy.”
