It's Always Darkest Before The Dawn

No doubt you’ve heard the saying “it’s always darkest before the dawn”. Sayings like these, that have become so commonplace that they have become cliché, have become cliché for a reason; usually because they hold so much truth, on so many levels. We are currently collectively going through a dark night of the soul. This means that many people are both personally as well as collectively experiencing the dark night. We say sayings such as the afore mentioned so often that often they begin to lose their meaning, or at best they are glossed over, a quick nod of agreement before moving on without much of a thought of what is actually being said.
So hear it again.
“It’s always darkest before the dawn.” The time right before true breakthrough and transformation is often the hardest of all; the most difficult to survive, the time in which we most want to give up, and the time in which we feel the most alone. But if you just keep on holding on, just a little bit longer, the dawn is coming, and when it does, that darkness will be all but forgotten.
We are currently going through the biggest evolutionary shift we have ever experienced as human beings. These old systems which no longer serve us, individually or personally, are coming to an end, and they do not go quietly. We are in a highly pressurised time. And even for those who know this truth, it can be difficult at times. We are watching and experiencing these structures lose stability. Sometimes things need to fall apart to make way for better things, this is how we grow, this is how we evolve. But that moment in time when things are falling apart, that moment before the dawn, can feel like chaos, and as though all is lost.
When a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the old self is completely ‘destroyed’, as the caterpillar is ripped apart and turned into goo. It would be easy for the caterpillar to despair, to lose hope, to wish for an end to its suffering, to question ‘why’. But as we know, this ‘suffering’ of the caterpillar is really a transformation into something beautiful, and completely unrecognisable. And this is what we are facing on both a global and personal level. It may not be easy. You may be struggling right now. But hold fast and keep your head up, for the dawn is coming, though it may still be a ways off. Take this opportunity to heal yourself. To balance the triggers that arise within you. Thank the experiences or circumstances that allowed you to become aware of these burdens, which you’ve always been carrying, so that you can finally release them once and for all. Remember to reach out for support and assistance when you need to and offer that assistance to others in need when you can. We are in this together. This is the time we have been waiting for. The great shift is upon us. And you are here in this time for a reason. Have hope, the light will come, no matter how dark it may seem before it breaks.
