This is an inspiring and reassuring message for everyone who may be struggling in the lows of life right now. Thank you Cast Light!
“Nothing is given to man on earth – struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible – the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.” – Andrew Bernstein
The solace of struggle is knowing with conviction despite momentary feelings that it will move and grow you, either in perspective or on to what’s next. And even amidst struggle, we can always find an anchor of hope, a pillar of peace. No matter what you may be struggling with, you are never alone. Never give up and always be kind, to yourself and others. Keep hurdling the obstacles, being the hero of your life.


“we can always find an anchor of hope”…I love that.
