Have you ever looked up into the night sky and felt a pull towards something greater than you? Do you realize that you have greatness within you that was given to you at birth?
A spark of the Divine is included in every baby that is born. It doesn't matter what the external circumstances are surrounding that birth; name, race and sex is immaterial. What culture or society that baby was born into does not change the fact that he or she was born with the Divine within them.
What are we supposed to do with this piece of God?
That question has kept a lot of people up at night, as they struggle for happiness amidst their particular circumstances. They cry out to God (or whoever they believe is supreme) and wonder why did all of these bad things happen to me?
Maybe there is another, more potent, more empowering question that should be asked.
"What is the good that I am to receive from this situation?"
Because no matter what the circumstance, no matter how much pain is involved, there is always good. Because we live in a world that exists because of opposites. We would not recognize pleasure without knowing pain. We would not know how to love unless hate had been experienced at some point. And we cannot feel happy without feeling sad.
So there is always something good that will arise from what looks like a bad situation. Because you can't have "bad" unless you also have "good."
So look for the good and you will discover the Divine.
And gratitude will fill you up to overflowing, because who wouldn't be grateful when they find their own, personal, piece of God?
