Light Chases out Darkness

Build in Public Daily

In this episode, I delve into the powerful concept of how light always triumphs over darkness. I reflect on my own experiences with taking cold plunges, where sometimes it can be difficult to gather the courage to jump into the cold water. Despite the initial hesitation, I find that I can handle it and it's truly amazing. Drawing from my time living in Fairbanks, Alaska, I recall the common complaint about the darkness during the winter months. With the sun only up for a few hours, it could be challenging for some. However, I discovered that even in the darkness, the light always triumphs. The light, no matter how low, is always stronger than the darkness. Even during the summer, there was always some form of light, preventing it from completely getting dark. This concept goes beyond physical light and darkness—it applies to our lives as well. There will be moments when the darkness pushes us to avoid or give up on things. However, whenever we invite light into our lives, it immediately chases away the darkness. Light and darkness cannot coexist. It's not just a cool idea; it's an undeniable fact. This belief holds incredible power and empowerment. No matter how dark our lives may seem, all it takes is a little bit of light to start dispelling the darkness. This realization brings comfort during personal struggles and serves as a reminder that we have the ability to overcome and thrive in the face of challenges.
