Shine, like the moon

Watching the night sky was always one of my favourite pastimes. Just staring at the elegant moon basking in its glory, or those twinkling stars and the murky sky gave me a different kind of peace and happiness.

One day, I was looking at the cloudy sky from my balcony. That was a full moon night, so the moon was glowing full to the brim. The sky was obscured by the covering of clouds. Those scampering clouds were time and again covering the moon. Yet the moon was imparting as much light as it could. Whenever black clouds covered the moon for some moments hampering its light, it always showed up shimmering even brighter.

A thought crossed my mind while witnessing this immersive sight. Just like how the moon opts to shine in every situation, we humans should also do the same. There will be distinct phases in our lives, some good, some bad. There will be dark times and difficulties too. All of these are phases of life. But, we must know that, just like those dark clouds passed, our bad times will also pass and soon we'll shine even brighter. Don't despair under any circumstances, there is always hope. Know that things will get better. Do not let harsh times get the better of you instead work harder on bettering them because "When the going gets tough, the tough get going". Always remember "You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think".
