It’s the Thought That Counts
The truth about darkness is it dissipates once exposed to light. Which means, when you remove the lid on a box of darkness, the darkness is banished. This immediately eases your burden. So, the gift is not what’s filling the box. The gift is the opportunity to lift the top, proving you can let in light.
Finding the courage to neutralize any darkness you’re holding onto is empowering, not only for you but to everybody who sees you take control and is inspired to expose their own personal, concealed darkness.
You may never know why a loved one gave you a box of darkness. It may have been by accident. It may have been intentional. And you may not even realize the box you’re in possession of contains darkness. But discovering you can rid yourself of this negativity reveals an important ability you will use throughout your life.
