Embrace emptiness.

EMPTINESS BEFORE FULLNESS

Life is a journey that takes us through different experiences, emotions, and states of being. Sometimes, we may feel a sense of emptiness, a void, or a lack of fulfillment in our lives. This feeling of emptiness can arise due to various reasons, a loss, a failure, a change, or simply as a result of our own inner struggles. However, the feeling of emptiness is not something that should be feared or avoided.

In many ways, the emptiness we feel can be a powerful and transformative force that allows us to grow, evolve, and ultimately find new sources of fulfillment and joy. The state of emptiness is often a natural precursor to fullness. Just as a seed needs to be planted in the soil, buried deep within the darkness, and left to germinate before it can grow into a beautiful plant, our lives too sometimes need to go through a period of emptiness before we can find new growth and fulfillment.

It is during these moments of emptiness that we have the opportunity to reflect deeply on our lives, values, and priorities. We may question our beliefs, our choices, and our paths, and this introspection can help us gain a new sense of clarity and purpose. We tend to learn more about ourselves during these periods of emptiness. We learn more about our strengths, weaknesses, and limitations. We may develop a deeper sense of empathy and compassion towards ourselves and others. We may then begin to discover new opportunities, relationships, and experiences that bring us joy and fulfillment.

Embracing emptiness can be challenging, and vulnerability that come with it is never an easy thing to bear. We may feel anxious, scared, or hopeless during these times. However, it is essential to remember that the emptiness is temporary, and with patience, self-care, and time, we will emerge from it stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled. Do not despise your present situation, learn to live in the moment, but never cease to grow, your emptiness will soon become an overflow.
