Why It’s The Darkest Before Dawn
This is how to find hope in life’s challenges
“The darkest hour is just before the dawn.” — Thomas Fuller, an English scholar, preacher, and author
It’s always darkest before the dawn. This statement has been echoed through centuries because it offers solace to those facing insurmountable life challenges.
It has maintained relevance across cultures and throughout history, from ancient wisdom traditions to modern self-help literature.
- Why?
- What is it about this simple statement that speaks so profoundly to the human experience?
- What makes it so relevant and impactful?
Perhaps it’s because we’ve all been there. We have all been where hope feels distant. We have been there where life’s challenges that are at our feet seem impossibly large.
That moment when…
- we have exhausted our resources
- our potential solutions have failed us
- our challenges seem impossible
We find ourselves in the darkness. We are not sure if the dawn will ever come to our lives.
Yet, repeatedly, we discover an uncanny truth.
