Our world is dark. If the light that shines within us isn't bright enough to light our path, our timidity and lack of relationship with the divine planner will keep us stuck. Our experiences, working in concert with our perspective, prepare us for the assignments God has given us. It's only in Him that we find our true joy and fulfillment, but we need His perspective to light our path. I decided to no longer be consumed by the culture. I looked in the mirror and asked tough questions to get back on track.
