“There is a saying in Tibetan, ‘Tragedy should be utilized as a source of strength.’
No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that’s our real disaster.”— Dalai Lama XIV
We all have challenges
that present in many forms
internal or external.
Some seem insurmountable –
veritable mountains
with no foothold in sight.
Some seem scary
like looking into an abyss.
Some are easy enough
on first glance.
But all are real.
Sharing challenges helps
them seem less overwhelming.
Recounting victories helps
show that eventually
light can replace darkness.
Telling one’s story honestly
while looking in from
the outside may reveal a
different view, thus
leading to insight.
Sharing is the key
for one never knows who
may be going through
something similar and
need to see that there
is a glimmer of light in
their darkness – and provide
the catalyst to keep believing
there is hope.

“…one never knows who may be going through something similar.” Very true. We never know what someone’s going through.
