Imagine a world where the sun never shines and darkness reigns in your heart. The dawning of each new day only brings more relentless struggles, disappointments, and bitterness. You see no silver within those stormy dark clouds. The weight of sorrow and misfortune threatens to steal away your very soul.

Yikes!! I hope you’re not living in such a world! If you are, please let me give you some hope!

I believe there is hope and goodness to be found in every bad situation, and that there is always a glimmer of hope behind every challenge.

It’s not always apparent, but if you look hard enough, you’ll find a silver lining. Here are some suggestions to help overcome the darkness and find the light.

✨A change in perspective while viewing the storm can make a huge difference in whether you’re able to find a silver lining.

Even the most devastating situation can be a learning experience, for you or someone else.

If you can go through the storm and come out with newfound strength or resilience, you’ve found a silver lining.

✨Being grateful for what you have despite the storms is a powerful way to change your perspective on hard times.

No matter how dark the situation is, if you take time to be grateful for the things that are going right in your life, you’ll be able to find the silver lining.

✨Sometimes we need help to see beyond the chaos life throws at us.

It’s ok to reach out to friends or family and get their input on your situation.

Sometimes, stepping back and getting away from the problem is the only way to gain a different perspective and find the silver lining.

✨When my dad had a heart attack, everyone viewed it as a storm. The surgery and recovery periods were hard on the entire family. But later, we were able to look at his health crisis from a different perspective.

Dad has changed his lifestyle and now eats healthier, stays more active, and has found a fantastic team of doctors to champion him in the future. We were finally able to find the silver lining.

= I challenge you to always look for the silver lining in every situation =
