We each have the choice at any given moment as to whether we want to be in darkness or in light. It doesn't mean that when we are in a dark place and we then choose to move towards the light that our circumstances will change instantly but it does mean that once we set our compass to head towards what it is that we want we are then moving away from the darkness. It seems to be easy to just accept that we are where we don't want to be but that's just the way it is so we put up with what we don't want in life. It may seem easy but it is not. The pain, the emotional turbulence and the mental torture of being in a place we don't want to be will soon become unbearable. Many of us just simply keep on trudging through life, struggling, and not knowing how we can change or move towards the things we want in life.
We have to be willing to let go of our pain and not hold on to it as tightly as we do. We see our pain as something that clings to us, or something that has happened to us that makes us feel this way and rarely ever recognise the fact that we hold onto this pain ourselves. We are responsible for relieving ourselves of it. Things happen to us which are out of our control; accidents, painful experiences, traumatic incidents, but it is only us who can heal ourselves from the pain of this trauma. When we have finally had enough of feeling the sickness we say 'I can't do this anymore, it's time to let go.' Of course, in some instances we need outside help, but ultimately it is us who chooses so seek help so it is our choice to heal ourselves in the first place. Until we decide that we want to let go of our pain we can never begin to heal.
So, whether we want to be in darkness or light, pain or pleasure, is a choice which is made internally and then later reflects on the outside world once we take action and choose one or the other. Remember that consistency will move you towards your target so be realistic. Some things will change instantly and others will take time depending on how far you are from your expectations.
