“What doesn't transmit light creates its own darkness.”

—Marcus Aurelius

Meditations

Think about the moments when you're faced with negativity—do you find yourself absorbed by it, spreading gloom through complaints or pessimism?

Just like a window obscured by dirt can't let in the sunlight, a mindset clouded by negative thoughts blocks the light of positivity. Your challenge today is to notice how you're reacting to the world around you.

Are you being like the clean glass that allows light to pass through, spreading brightness and clarity, or are you contributing to the darkness by holding onto negativity?

Each day, you're confronted with countless opportunities to either transmit light or generate darkness. That frustrating traffic jam, a heated argument with a friend, or even the news circulating on your social feeds—how are you letting these experiences influence your inner state? Are you becoming a source of light, offering patience, understanding, and optimism? Or do you feel the weight of these moments dragging you into the shadows?

Remember, you have the power to choose.
