Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 518 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
I would like to discuss with you an important concept about the difference between light and the absence of light. Often, the absence of light is referred to as darkness.
When somebody does an action, a good action, a deed which is beneficial, not just to themselves but to others, it brings light onto the world. It brings goodness and it helps not only the person who does the act, but also the people around them. On the contrary, when somebody does something which is negative or harmful to themselves, they actually hurt the world as well and everyone around them.
When you bring light to the world or goodness, you enhance the world, you enhance your environment and brighten the place that you’re in, and that’s why when light comes in, more of a positive environment is created and it’s due to your action. But when you don’t do the right thing, when you do something which is negative, some people call it a “misdeed”, or others within some religions call it a “sin”, something which is not permeable to goodness, something which is not necessary and that is actually harmful either to yourself or others, something which causes pain, this negative act, this motion that you have made is causing damage and injury.
Here is something to think about: the fact that you did something which was not good, not appropriate, that in itself is not good, that’s true and it’s not nice. But the part that you have to realize is not so much that you’ve done something which was not nice or not right. It’s the fact that you missed the opportunity of that moment to bring more light. Instead of doing something good, you did something which was not good, and you missed an opportunity. You missed a chance to rectify the world and make it a better place than it was when you first found it. You missed the chance to do something good. It was given to you and you could have done it, but instead, you chose something else. That is the issue, that is the part that you feel terrible about. Why would you do that?
Now, you may say, “So what should I do now? How can I correct that? I’ve missed the train. I’ve missed the opportunity.” Well, here’s what you can do: you can do more good, you can swing the pendulum to the opposite side and overwhelm everything that you do now with goodness. The “bad” that you did, the things that you did that were not good, that was not supposed to be done, now gets rectified and you can change that, turn it into greater, better, brighter, more necessary goodness. You could do that at any given time, and it’s all within your power.
Think of the awesomeness behind that, think of the strength, think of the power, think of the opportunity, that’s all yours. So when things are done, which are not proper, it’s not about the fact that there’s darkness. It’s the fact that a light is missing. Bring it back and from now on, focus on the things that are good and your life will change, and so will the environment around you and everyone there, and I wish that for you.
