In my life's journey, I experienced months or years when I have felt trapped, sad, no solution in sight. Yet, always, a solution comes to me.
Sometimes, I've had to be pried away from the problem before I recognize the solution in front of me.
Now, I have faith that some solution always comes. It may not be the one I imagined, but I have faith that it will be the right one.
It helps that I practice seeing "my darkest hours" differently. When I see a dark hour coming (yes, I still have them) I remind myself that it is only dark to me inside my situation. Beyond my view, outside my situation, is a world of light (and dark) brimming with events. At some point, the right event will intersect my dark hour and bring light.
I must watch and be ready to act, to choose when that moment happens. In your darkest hour, be ready.
And the saving grace--if you are not ready or if you chose the second best solution--there will always be another chance: another dark hour, another solution.
Such is life's journey.
