Let the light in your lives shine through

The abolitionist, feminist and human-rights crusader Sojourner Truth in 1867 said something that really resonates with me. It was in reference to using positivity to cope with the stress of everyday life. She said “Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me”. Having positive emotional skills and using them is of the essence, especially in times of struggle.
