Life has its moments... of uplifting joy and debilitating sadness. Welcome to Life. It only seems unfair because we can't feel the pain of others, and our load seems heaviest because it's what we have to carry.
But everyone goes through life in their own way, the best way they know how.
And I know that there are times when you feel that the best you can do isn't good enough... that it's all 'too much'... and you just want to give up. I get it. I've been there.
But it's at times like that when giving up just won't solve the problem. In fact, it probably will make it worse.
So, instead, just give in.
Give in to the pain and the sorrow... and the frustrations that darken every moment. You're human... and one of the gifts we get with the human experience is feeling emotions. THEY are not our enemies. So don't fight THEM.
When you give up, you stop taking action. When you give in, you might feel horrible, but you do it anyway. When you give up, you can feel like a failure... when you give in, you end up feeling human (and that's really not a bad thing at all!)
So give yourself permission to be yourself... going through what you're going through. Feel that you're going to feel, and adjust your actions to match your current CIRCUMSTANCES rather than your current MOOD.
You are better than what tries to bring you down. So don't give in to THEM... give in to YOU.
And THAT will keep the light on!

love it! Posted it to my bloggy - boo as well!
I've been wondering - whether circumstances dictate our mood, or whether mood dictates our circumstances? Perhaps if it's the latter, would our first action be to find a better mood? :)
