Dealing with Aggression
Sometimes life can be very confusing. We strive to walk a spiritual path, being accepting and forgiving. We smile and send blessings unselfishly to all that cross our path. We meditate and pray, but how do we deal with negative people when...

How to Cope with Big Cities' Aggression

The Coach Approach
When you use what you go through to grow through, you take the coach approach. I am suggesting that you hire your own counsel. After all, who else knows your dreams, goals, and intentions better than you do? Who else has access to your inner...
The Reality of Fairies
No, I have never seen a fairy, an angel, nor any other type of a spirit guide. But I swear there are times I think that if I spun around fast enough they'd be sitting there snickering at me. Today's one of those days. Quite often, I sit up late...

Nothing is Darker than Midnight and it Lasts One Minute
There are times when we are absolutely down. We are anxious,
desperate, distraught, dejected, grieved, overwhelmed, and so
on. In sum, we are a mess. Our energy is so low we can hardly
function. In fact, we can't function at all. The worst thing is
that the lower our energies are, the higher our despair soar. It
is a vicious cycle.
However, we need to understand that, nothing is darker than
midnight and it lasts only one minute. This means that, of
course, whatever desperate situation we find ourselves in, we
should know that: this too, shall pass.
I remember a story that I read many years ago and it goes like
this.
This man arrived at the airport under torrential rain. The plane
left and the storm continued. He didn't think they would make
it. But the airplane took flight and soon they were above the
clouds and lo and behold, a beautiful full moon was shining
perfectly on a dark sky. He arrived at his destination under
heavy rain again. He met a friend at the arrival and they
decided to share a cab to the city.
While they were talking, the man told his friend about this
beautiful moon shining up above that storm. The cab driver heard
the story and started looking up to the sky, every time they hit
a red light. The rain was still falling heavily. When the other
passenger left the cab, the driver asked the man if the moon
was
truly shining so beautifully up above. The man said "Yes, can
you imagine it?" The driver then kept looking up and muttering
to himself "Who would believe it?"
As the cab driver stopped at the man's house, the driver turned
to the man and effusively thanked him saying: "You have just
changed my life!"
Now, what made the driver say that is for us to decide. The
moral of the story is that every time you find your life in a
stormy and dark condition, remember that up above the clouds,
there is a full moon (or perhaps a bright sun) shining over you.
The clouds are just the appearance of the situation.
Affirm to yourself that "Nothing is darker than midnight and it
lasts only one minute." You will soon realize that the minute
will pass sooner than you think. Just focus on the true essence
of things. That will be enough to get you going until the Truth
manifests for you.
