Search For Your Light

By Loise Munjiru

When the world around you is clouded, don’t give in to the darkness, instead aim to go out and search for your light. The world is big and full of opportunity. What I mean to say is, what is dark to you, may probably have a ray to another. Maybe somewhere you can be a ray of hope for someone else, because nothing is ever what it seems. Sometimes we need a push to discover who we really are, and when we do, we shine bright and all the shadows fade away. Clouds are just there to cover you for a while. They give you a chance to face yourself without the doubting eyes that rob you of the chance to be you when you really need to. 

The next time you want to give up, take one more look around you and see that it’s beautiful. Put on the graduation goggles and then you’ll see the world like you’ve never seen before.  And maybe you’ll learn to appreciate the life you’re living. You should learn to see things from every angle and not be one sided. The beauty of life is realizing that things can change when you have the courage to face your troubles head on. Sometimes it’s good to retreat, but that doesn’t mean you cower away in the corner. Instead you come back and face them with a cool mind.   

Life is about experiences. Some might be good while others are bad. What matters is that you have that little faith that everything will be just fine. Until your breath your last breath you should do what you love and love what you do. Find what makes you happy and fight for it. Give yourself the chance to see that the world has a lot more to offer. When you have hope and faith then nothing and no one can dim out your bright future. Many people have made their dreams come true, why not you? Don’t be afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing. So, use the light to grow just like the plants do. Don’t let the darkness cast the shadow on your bright future. Be honest with yourself first and accept all those bad decisions you’ve made because they made you.
