There would be no light without darkness

There is always a duality to things- good and bad, plus and minus, yin and yang, heaven and hell, the list goes on. Why should we be aware of those? Simply because we are always struggling to find a balance. We keep moving back and forth towards each extremity and that is no right. This takes away lots of energy. 

One thing I realised is that one cannot exist without the other. It's like light. Without darkness, there would be no light. I really like this anology because it emphasizes on how we always have a tendency to  go closer to eitherone side. When we start questioning life and our existence, remember that what seems like a bad thing also holds good. Everything comes as a blessing in disguise. We only have to be willing to see it. 

Be open and don't let yourself close in front of everything that happens before you. Most of the events in life can't be controlled, but you get to choose how you want to react. You don't want to give any power to those negative aspects, so let go. Choose to embrace positivity. Stay in the light when there is darkness- remember it's always there, but you have to be open to see it.

Tiny steps

I admit, I lost track again. It's alright. We all do. Things happen. Stumbles are part of the journey. To get back to life, take tiny steps. 1 single action. The key is it doesn't have to be huge, only enough to get you started again.

Consistency

You've got to be consistent in whatever you do. To improve, learn, and be successful, you've got to be committed and consistently do what you must, in order to move in the direction of your dreams. Consistency will determine the value of your determination and how far you will get. Of course, it's not an easy task- to stay focus and not lose faith. Hang in there, 0.1% improvement is always better than zero. Over time it compounds and leads to unexpected results. Be driven by the system, by the action, by what it takes. Persevere and be consistent. 

Gratitude

As this year comes to a close, I believe the most rewarding action to take is to list down all the things you are grateful for. It will be a gateway to reflect on all that happened during the year. It'll be an opportunity to unwind and see all the blessings you received. Sometimes what appears to be challenging and undesirable turned out to be a learning curve.  This is the time to be reminded of all the lessons learnt. Life has so much to teach us, but all lessons are learnt within and kept inside. Be aware that we have all that we need at any given time. I'm grateful for 2017 and all that it came with. Count your blessings.
