In the Days of Darkness, there are reasons to Smile

“The darkest hour is just before the dawn” meaning: - There is hope, even in the worst of circumstances.

The below extract from Shakespeare's "The Tempest" justifies this statement

"O, a cherubin
Thou wast that did preserve me. Thou didst smile,
Infused with a fortitude from heaven,
When I have decked the sea with drops full salt,
Under my burden groaned; which raised in me
An undergoing stomach, to bear up
Against what should ensue."

-Prospero , THE TEMPEST, WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.

Oh, you were an angel
That saved me! You smiled,
Instilled with strength from heaven,
When I have covered the sea with salty tears,
Groaning under my load, which raised in me
A new strength, to put with
Whatever should follow.

This extract justifies how a father, who was in a very bad state of mind was able to fight all odds and be successful just because of the child’s smile which gave him the inspiration, strength, courage and determination to fight and face all the difficult circumstances in life. Some people see crushing workload as an exciting challenge! While some take a scary path into uncharted territory as an adventure... May be they know that at least a part of the solution is in how one perceives it, whether they take it as problem or a challenge or/and adventure! It all lies in ones' mind set. Without exception, every human being has the ability to transform any weakness or suffering into strength, power, peace, health, and abundance.

Everyday is a new day! With a new challenge to face. Some may be good and some bad, but both are essential in life. Good Days gives us Happiness and bad days give us experience. The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears...yes in times of darkness there is a reason to smile because there is always another chance in life. It’s never over. Well ever wondered what keeps us going in such awful times?! ...... Its HOPE.

No matter what comes your way! Believe in yourself and never let the flame of Hope to die!!!
