I arise from darkness like the blooming flowers of nature.

.

I accept that dark days are a part of life. I know that true triumph and happiness only come after experiencing some of life’s harshest trials. These trials serve to strengthen me and mold me. They serve to make me a better person who understands the value of perseverance.

.

I admit that my dark days sometimes consume me. I sometimes feel hopeless, as if I am at the worst point in my life. But it never lasts forever.

.

Just as plants die at the end of one season, and bloom again in all their splendor at the beginning of the next, so do I move from darkness to light.

.

I am accepting of the fact that it is only through the existence of dark days that I truly know what bright days feel like. While I prefer not to experience darkness, I am reassured that it must come to an end. And when it does, things only get better from there.

.

Dark days and rough times are learning experiences for me. My will, conviction, and purpose are all strengthened when I make it out of a rough time in my life. I know such a situation cannot have the same impact on me ever again.

.

Today, I approach life’s challenges and hard times head on, knowing that they can only make me stronger. I avoid darkness like a plague, but embrace it as an opportunity to show my resolve when it comes my way.
