Hang on, The Night is Darkest Before the Dawn.

Let’s face the truth on something, at some point in time, we can be in a situation where our life seems to be falling apart… Problem after Problem, issue after issue… From personal to private all the way to social and professional… Nothing seems to work!

Over the past week, I've re-watched one of my favorite DC Trilogy, The Dark Knight, and among some of the iconic quotes from the movies, is one by Harvey Dent

The night is darkest just before the dawn.?And I promise you, the dawn is coming.

Dawn?begins when the first light begins to show over the horizon from the sunrise. Therefore, there is the least light before dawn begins, because there is no sunlight at that point. That is also the longest point since last seeing light.

Don’t give up during hard times because things are the hardest right before they get better.

I have always had the same conversation with a different variation on the same topic; Someone would be talking to me about how life is hard on him?or?her and starts listing the negative things happening in their life. And I would almost always bring out the same point:

“That’s not a big deal… You know why… Because REAL problems in Life are only health-related issues… The rest is just a day-to-day issue to deal with”?

You see, the well-being of?you and your loved ones?is far more important than issues you may have in your school, workplace, in your social space, or even in your house.

And I started realizing that whenever I (or practically anyone of us) would meet a dear friend, I would skim through a summary of the highlights in like 5 minutes and then start listing all the negative issues facing my life in like 25 minutes. But again 5-6 years later, If I were to recall a flashback to the same conversation, I realize that I had to pass through some dark times, to reach and enjoy the sunlight!

Just?when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly

Funny enough, (and I have heard this many many times already...) some of the really REALLY bad things that happened to you at some points in time,?worked great for YOU later on… If you HAVEN’T have passed through these, you wouldn’t have taken some life-changing decisions and wouldn’t have reached where you are right now… Trust me it's not any different this time!?

So for this week, remember that whenever things get darker and darker… The Darkest will be just before the Dawn…

Enjoy your Week!
