What Your Obstacles and a Dark Alley Have in Common

Have you ever been familiar with a location and then it suddenly changed? This plays into how we look at life.

I slowly navigated down a dark alley with uneven brick pavers, narrow high walls, closed colored doors, a trash pile and a random cow. A small light quickly approached and a motorcycle whizzes by my right side barely missing my arm.

I’ve walked through this same alley every evening at 6pm, after sunset, on my way home. Yet tonight, something was different. Suddenly, the normal dark alley turned into fabrics of brilliant white and purple. The brick pavers were covered in bright green cloth. Bright lights sparkled on the silver plated food trays. Little did I know, I was about to walk through a wedding reception.

Have you ever needed to shine light onto a dark part of your life? What do you see? Are you afraid to look? Maybe underneath the depths of darkness lay a beautiful, vibrant area of your life ready for light to be shined on it again. Or, perhaps it’s the best part of your life that desperately wants to be revealed with more depth and grandeur.

As we shine light on our pain, we reveal a new perspective. Something hidden that we never knew about. It’s the awareness not the avoidance that brings the change we so eagerly want. Take the time and find new perspectives on situations or people that hold you back. It’s time to propel you forward.
