There are days when I feel small. Days when I doubt myself, question my worth, or wonder if I am moving in the right direction. Jung believed that every person carries an inner light, a natural strength that grows when we pay attention to it.
For a long time, I did not see that light in myself. I often focused on what I lacked, what I feared, or what I felt insecure about. But little by little, I began to notice moments of clarity and courage inside me. Small moments. Gentle moments. But they mattered.
My inner light shows up when I choose honesty over pretending. It appears when I listen to what I truly feel instead of ignoring it. It grows when I take care of myself, even in the smallest ways, like resting when I am tired or saying no when something feels too heavy.
There was a day recently when I felt overwhelmed. Everything felt too much. I wanted to hide. But instead of pushing myself, I allowed myself to slow down. I let myself breathe. In that pause, I felt a soft strength rising inside me. It was not loud or dramatic. It was simple, like a small reminder that I can handle things gently, one step at a time.
I am learning that inner strength is not about being perfect or fearless. It is about staying connected to myself, even when life becomes confusing. It is about trusting that there is something steady within me that will guide me forward.
Today, I want to let my inner light grow a little more. I want to choose kindness toward myself. I want to notice the moments of courage that appear quietly in my day.
My light may be soft, but it is real. And it deserves to grow.
