The eclipse
of life
Darkness that over and over again gives way to a bright shining sun
Every human life consists of joy and pain. Prosperity and adversity. Moments when everything seems crystal clear and moments when you feel stuck. Just as day and night exist, we know that our lives consist of light and darkness.
I call it the eclipse of life.
- Because sometimes something dark slides between you and your life force. Your sun darkens. No matter what you try, your rays can’t get through.
This can be pretty grim but also a beautiful opportunity. When you are in darkness, you can not only wait for the light, but also let new things emerge. Just as a seed can only germinate and start to grow in the darkness. Until it is ready to come to full development in full sunlight.
Therefore: seize the opportunity when you experience such a personal eclipse. Press your stop button and reflect. Until you once again see every opportunity to rise again and shine brightly, being a light for those around you. - The eclipse of life can also be a conscious pause in all the hustle and bustle. From self-awareness, you take the time to turn off the light for a while and reflect. To continue on your path with new energy and insights or to choose another direction.
I summarize it as follows:
Stop & reflect to rise & shine
Stop
Stop. Stand still. Sit down. That is the beginning of all transformation.
If you can’t stop, how can you start?
Reflect
Crawl into your cave, your secret place. Reflect, look in the mirror - think. This is where transformation takes place.
Sometimes when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but you’ve actually been planted.
Rise
Show your insights, show your transformation. Rise above the surface.
Become who you are. And show yourself to the world. Be.
Shine
Let your new self shine. Don't shine for yourself, but enlighten others.
Be like the sun. That shines everywhere. And for everyone.
