Everybody has heard the adage that what does not kill you, makes you stronger. I think it's funny in a way because although I believe this to be true; when I am in the process of going through something, I don't feel strong at all--I feel utterly powerless.
Spiritually, recognizing and accepting my powerlessness is what gives me any power at all; it is the only thing that ever has. I have to accept that I am powerless in order to have any ability to transcend whatever difficulty I have. It is only in accepting that I am powerless, that I have developed, learned, or been granted whatever it is that enables me to being strong.
It's alright to be in the dark because I know there is light
