Darkness

Following every period of darkness, is light.

Sometimes that dark night seems neverending, but fear not, it will come to an end.

And light will shine upon your life.

It’s true though, that light and dark are part of a cycle, and darkness will come again, but just remember, that light is there, at the end of the tunnel, every time.

It’s what will pull you through those dark times.

Keep shining Peeps 🙂

See you tomorrow!

Revolt

A revolt makes me think initially of mutiny, of thousands of peasants going on a rampage after finally deciding they were going to do something about the wrongdoers in their life.

But in reality, a revolt doesn’t have to be such a public thing, does it?

There are times in life when you realise what you’ve always done, what your community and society consider to be the norm, the right thing to do, actually isn’t the right thing for you.

Inside, you make a decision to go against what everyone else is doing, aware that you will possibly face criticism, even disappointment, with what you choose to do.

But it may be the right thing for you.

It’s not always a good thing to follow the crowd. We need individuality in our lives, but equally it is tough to step out of sync with the rest.

But if you know there is something you want or need to do, think upon it… is it time for you to stage your own personal revolt?

See you tomorrow!

One-Liner Wednesday & #JusJoJan Day 17- #1LinerWeds – Talk About It

“Papering over a crack merely conceals, it doesn’t make it disappear.” – Ritu

By this, I mean that you really need to try and be open about your worries or problems, with one person at least. Only then will you have the chance to possibly fix a broken relationship or issue.

The more you keep bottled up, the worse things become in your head, often they become bigger monsters than they really are, then they can be impossible to tackle.

Don’t stick your head in the sand, hoping things will go away…

Talk about it.

For Linda’s #1LinerWeds Challenge and #JusJoJan.

An acrostic poem for today!

Contemplation

Clear your mind
Om
Neutralise your thoughts
Take a deep breath
Exhale slowly
Meditate
Positive thoughts
Lifting away negativity
All-encompassing
Thinking
Introspection
Observation
New life starts now.

See you tomorrow!

Justice

What is justice?

Is it the act of seeing balance restored?

Combatting an act of evil, with a suitable punishment?

Or is it a more acceptable word to use to describe revenge?

A legal way to see a person brought to rights?

That’s it, my thoughts on Justice!

See you tomorrow!
