Don’t fear the darkness light a candle

I heard this quote a few days ago it was from the late Father Bob Maguire who was a priest here in Melbourne who did a lot of good work with the homeless and most vulnerable people here. He was well known and a charming character.

I think this quote applies to my life with my mental health issues.  If I constantly worried about my future I would never get out of bed and quite possibly become suicidal.  I try to look at the world 🌎 through a glass-half-full perspective.   I try not to worry about my future and things that probably wouldn’t happen anyway. Instead, I light a candle of goodwill to my loved ones 😍 🥰 and don’t let the attitudes of negative people affect me.  If you do fear the darkness and negative things try to turn that on its head by doing something positive or nice for someone. I know and accept that there are people out there who don’t understand goodwill and spread their misery around but I don’t let these types of people control or influence my life.  I would rather light candles than constantly walk in darkness and I ignore these people, choosing instead to spend my time with like-minded positive people for my own well-being and positivity.
