--- Benjamin Franklin.
Instead of cursing the darkness, light a candle. Wise words said by Ben Franklin. I interpret this quote exactly as it sounds.
Instead of cursing the darkness
When shit hits the fan, when everything fall a part, when things do not go according to plan, or even when something acts as an obstacle to your goals, do something about it. Do not curse at the obstacle in front of you nor give up. Cursing at the obstacle in front of you will not make the situation go away. Life is not easy and achieving ones goals isn't easy either. If it was as easy as we assumed it to be, wouldn't everyone be successful and achieve their goals? There is a reason why there are some who make it and some who don't, those who encounter the darkness, or are put in the darkness, do not sit in the darkness and curse at it nor do they deal with the obstacle that has been put in front of them negatively. Instead, they take the situation at hand and make the best of the situation. They literally look for the light at the end of the tunnel, the light in the darkness.

Take charge and do something to fix the issue. Instead of dwelling on it, grab the issue by its balls and take advantage of the complication. Because after all, the complication will only make one stronger as a person. There is always a way to fix a problem. No one said the solution would be easy and no one said the road to obtaining the desired goal was going to be a walk in the park. Obviously, if one wants something, one needs to work for it.
In our times of darkness, in our times of hopelessness and in the times where we all feel down. The only way out is not to dwell in the situation nor is it to curse at the situation at hand. Only we ourselves can make the situation better. After all, there is not one person who cares for us more, than ourselves (well probably our parents too, but I don't know)… I see this quote as being able to take charge and take on the darkness.
I'm trying to do this thing where I make a post everyday, of course today's post was clearly not all that thought provoking. I have a lot going on regarding applying for my major, essays, readings, and other class work in addition to my job work. Life is getting really busy for me, but I still want to try to post everyday. In a way, this is my safe haven, being able to turn to blogspot and just let my creative juices flow. But this is really all for today…
It's time for me to get back to work now.
