Can't see my way clear...

[lrperkins]

Can't see my way clear. Always drained. Always exhausted. Want this to get better. NEED this to get better. Tired. Need light.

Hi Irperkins!

What kind of light are you speaking of? Sunlight or the sunlight of the Spirit? I’m always tired and exhausted too but from different things, I think. I’m not depressed at this time, but I fear I will be if I can’t get my physical issues under control. I know how you feel! Wishing you the best 🌷🙃🌷

Thanks for your response, GratitudeFirst. By light I meant hope. But I need both types you referred to as well! Things get so dark sometimes and I can't clearly see my way out of my present circumstances, ESPECIALLY when I'm too exhausted to move forward. It does make me happy to hear you're not currently depressed, and I really hope you physically feel better soon!

The light which you are trying to find .. is within you ..

It’s all the perspective that make life hopeful or hopeless

A man who is lost in desert may feel hopeless that he is gone die without doing anything great and same man can be hopeful that may be he find some new world if he keep walking in this lost area ...

[lrperkins in reply to Grimreaper]

Thank you, Grimreaper. I do see your point. Perspective is important. But please tell me, what does the hopeful man lost in the desert do when he's dehydrated, lost his strength, and STILL hasn't found his way out?

Good and interesting question

First a man lost in desert and hopeful will do following

1. Conserve the energy .. will not fight with sun and warm gusty wind

2. He understand when the condition is against him and when it’s in favour of him

3. Will venture in night , look for the North Star and will go on tallest dune in night to see if some caravan moving ..

4. If he find one .. will go on that path and wait for next caravan to pass rather than run behind the caravan he saw.

(All caravan use same path )

In nutshell, a hopeful person knows

1. Do not fight with things you can not change , rather let them calm down

2. Use your clam mind to find a path .

Problem comes when we fight with anxiety or depression.. the more we fight more deeper we go inside it.

Let them come , just observe, let them settle , do not react .. you will see after a point they subside .

Negativity feeds negativity and positivity feeds positivity.. keep in mind and be a hopeful traveler wait for your moment without getting panicked.. you will find a new world 😊😊
