What If Your Hardest Moments Are Actually Leading You to the Light?

There are moments in life when absolutely nothing seems to go right. On the contrary—problems seem to ambush us from every direction, multiplying with each passing day. In such times, it’s natural to feel the urge to give up, lash out in frustration, or sink into self-pity. But have you ever considered that perhaps these very problems are, in disguise, a blessing? That they’re nudging you—no, propelling you—toward deeper spiritual growth, more light, a greater connection with the divine?

Emotions Don't Come from Outside

To be human means to constantly navigate waves of emotion. But what we feel isn’t always rooted in what’s happening around us. Imagine being in a car accident. One person might respond with rage. Another might weep quietly. And yet someone else could feel an unexpected wave of gratitude—realizing the crash served as a wake-up call to slow down, to appreciate life. The same event. Three entirely different responses. Why? Because our emotions are shaped not by what happens to us, but by how we interpret it. And those interpretations stem from deeply rooted beliefs—planted in childhood or even previous lifetimes.

When Darkness Lingers Too Long

It's hardest to resist negativity when nothing has gone right for a long time. When life feels like a constant uphill climb, when anger bubbles up, when tears won’t stop coming. But it’s precisely during these heavy times that the soul is given an extraordinary opportunity—to transform. It’s in these crucibles that we are forced to reflect, to evolve. We’re called to forgive, to let go, to surrender completely, to trust without guarantees, to find courage in the midst of fear. And slowly, quietly, our heart begins to open. The more it opens, the closer we are to the Divine.

If you're in a dark period right now, know this: it won’t last forever. Like waves in the ocean, it will eventually recede. Just remembering this can give you a little breathing room—a sense of perspective that lets you rise above the emotional storm. Ask yourself: What is this period trying to teach me? What is it revealing? How can I use it to become a truer, wiser version of myself?

Work with your consciousness. Speak to it. Ask it to show you the way forward. Do whatever it takes to bring about change from within. That’s where your power lies.

You Are Not Broken

People often judge themselves harshly during difficult times. As if feeling broken means being broken. But life is made up of both hardship and joy—and both are essential for our evolution. Just like your body needs both food and water to survive, your spirit grows through both laughter and tears.

So give yourself permission to feel what you feel. Don’t criticize yourself for struggling. Instead, meet yourself with compassion. What would it look like to care for yourself a little more tenderly right now? Perhaps you need more sleep. Healthier meals. Time alone. A long walk. A talk with a trusted friend or therapist. Care for yourself like you would care for someone you love. Be your own best friend. That’s not selfish—it’s sacred.

And don’t wait for others to meet your needs. Expecting others to rescue you only breeds disappointment. You are your responsibility. And that's empowering.

When Spirits Make Healing Harder

It’s also important to mention this: if you have spirits attached to you, it may be nearly impossible to change your emotional state on your own. These spirits pull your energy downward. They flood your system with intense negativity, often to the point that it becomes unmanageable. That’s why people with attachments sometimes say they feel like they’re crawling out of their own skin—they’re not just overwhelmed; they’re being overwhelmed by something external to them.

Going through spirit possession can be an intense and painful experience, but it often becomes a powerful catalyst for the soul’s transformation. Every day, we hear from clients who, once freed from these influences, realize how profoundly the experience shaped them. Many share that, despite the suffering, they feel grateful for what it revealed—about themselves, about life, and about what truly matters. They often emerge stronger, wiser, and more spiritually connected than ever before.

The Depth of Sorrow Shapes the Height of Joy

I’ll leave you with the timeless words of Kahlil Gibran, which beautifully encapsulate everything we’ve shared here:

“Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain.”

What Gibran is reminding us is that sorrow isn’t separate from joy—it prepares the soul to receive it more fully. Just as the heart expands through pain, it also deepens its capacity to love, to feel, to rejoice. Without darkness, we wouldn't recognize the brilliance of light, nor appreciate its warmth.
