Our lives are essentially the same, just as the night gives way to a brand-new day. Everything that occurs in our lives has a purpose. Whatever it is, it sets the stage for what lies ahead for us. Nothing stays the same; life keeps moving. Life may be erratic. Although it is difficult for humans to predict the future, we love to think about what might happen in the future. While there is nothing wrong with it, one must be willing to accept whatever comes our way, whether it utterly contradicts our wishes or works in our favor. Despite how unpleasant our situation is, we don't have to endure in silence. Nobody can say they will never face difficulties or adversity in life. In actuality, there are events in life that frequently rock us to our core.

So, in the face of darkness, how can one maintain composure?

When one is submerged in the terrifying blackness of a harsh reality, time itself becomes an illusion. As with desperation, sixty seconds can seem like a lifetime when caught in the middle of a tornado.What lesson(s) is the experience attempting to impart to you? If you could look back on your life's journey from above, what changes would you make for the future? Seek the smallest break from your unendurable situation when you're stuck in it. The darkness calls us to cultivate equanimity within ourselves and engage in self-compassion. The highest ideals that reside at the core of our being are what we are called to live out. Leaning on people in difficult times also reminds us that we don't have to face adversity alone. We always have support from others when we need it to regain our strength. We have to push through the darkness, knowing that our compassionate hope for change is just around the bend, in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Instead of looking down on your suffering, let's see it as a window to inner growth.The proverb "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is true in a very meaningful way. You become wealthier beyond measure as you overcome obstacles in life. There are two options available to you when you are in a dark place and trying to find a way out of your situation: give up or use inner resources you were unaware you had and emerge from it stronger and more humble than before.

‘‘What you overcome in life makes you richer in every way. When you are in that dark place looking for a way out of your hardship, you are faced with two choices: give up or tap into the inner resources that you didn't even know you had.’’- Said by Mary Paleologos ( A Renowned Transformational coach, clinical hypnotherapist, Life counselor)
