“It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.” — Aristotle
These words by Aristotle resonate deeply with me, especially when I think back to the darkest chapter of my life—my divorce. It was a time filled with uncertainty, pain, and fear, a period when light seemed all but extinguished. But it was precisely in that darkness that I learned the value of focus—not just any focus, but a determined effort to find even the smallest glimmers of hope. For me, that light came when I placed my faith, my hope, and my fears into God’s hands.
Darkness has a way of clouding our vision, making it hard to believe that better days lie ahead. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and lost in the storm of emotions. But focusing on that light, no matter how faint, helps steer us toward healing. Sometimes, that light looks like a comforting prayer, a supportive friend reaching out, or simply a quiet moment of peace in the chaos. The journey toward the light is rarely straight or easy, but it’s there—and it’s worth seeking.
If you find yourself walking through your own darkness, know this: you are not alone. It’s okay if you don’t see the light right away—sometimes it hides, waiting patiently for you to look in a different way or to open your heart to new possibilities. Keep searching, keep hoping. With persistence, clarity will come, and that flicker will grow into a radiant glow guiding you forward.
Remember, Aristotle’s words are a powerful reminder that even in our bleakest moments, our focus can uncover the light that carries us through. Holding onto faith and hope can transform the darkest nights into the dawn of a new beginning. I hope that as you navigate your own challenges, you find those moments of light—and in time, peace and joy.
God Bless You On Your Journey!
