Look for that silver lining

This past week, I found myself thinking about the well-known proverb, “Every cloud has a silver lining,” meaning that no matter how challenging things might seem to be, there is always hope or something good to be found in every negative situation. I was reading an article on how it is always possible to find sources of strength, things that bring you joy, or a greater a sense of clarity, even during the hardest of times. So, I thought I would share some of these insights with you this morning, just in case you need to find your own silver linings right now. Firstly, when a situation or period in your life is difficult, you might be tempted to think you can’t get through it - but the reality is that we are more resilient than we think we are and eventually we will emerge stronger for the experience. Secondly, when you experience difficulties in your own life, you become more compassionate towards others, because you feel their plight too. Thirdly, you discover who your real friends are when times are hard and it allows you to develop a greater sense of gratitude for those who stand by you through the good and bad times. So, you see how it really is possible to find that silver lining, even in the toughest of times.
