“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.”
-JK Rowling
I loved reading that. Sometimes I struggle to remember it, but when I do…remember to turn on my Light, I mean…it really does make a difference. An about-face in attitude, or an intentional shift in perspective…heck, lungs full of fresh air…can really help me tap into the power of the bright side. I know it’s always in there. Just like the sky is always blue above the rain, we are hardwired to feel Joy on the other side of pain.
