The Weekend Bite™ Online August 2016

 

Hello friends, we're still enjoying summer; it's brightness, colours and life. However, it is possible to be in the midst of brightness and remain dull; especially when your heart is heavy. What do you do when it seems your season of joy and brightness is being deferred? This one's called #Waitingformorning.

#Waitingformorning signifies holding on for the occurrence or fulfillment of an expectation or desire. When you experience a long, or dark night, with unfavourable conditions, it's common to long for morning to come with its promise of sunshine and brightness. The same is applicable in our daily lives. A dark night can be a long period of disappointments, rejection, unhappiness or failure. When things don't seem to work, no matter how hard you try, it can be quite discouraging. You may lose the will to keep trying and just settle for an alternative far from what you really want, or surrender to defeat where there's no alternative at all.

 

So what do you do when you feel this way? Discouraged, let down, disappointed or stuck in a long period of delay? 

 

One thing's for sure, giving up should not be in your vocabulary. You need to make up your mind not to give in or give up on life altogether. The truth of the matter is that no matter how long the night may be, there will surely be morning. That's why you need to encourage yourself and hold on for your morning to come. It's good to review your approach to see what needs to change and then restrategise; but don't give up or give in to failure. Your morning will surely come!

 

As you keep waiting for morning, just say to yourself: 'I am not a failure, I am not defeated, I am intelligent and important, I will succeed.' Speak positive words to keep negative thoughts out of your head. You may look crazy talking to yourself but sometimes saying these words out loud may have a more profound effect. Positive confessions help us hold on just long enough, until our new season is unlocked. Hopefully, your waiting won't be in vain and your breakthrough will come soon.

Don't give in to depression no matter what. Hold on tight for your morning is almost here!

 

Cheers!
