Grains of light




Every inventor,
every saint,
every person we call great—
they all began ignored by everyone,
misunderstood even by those closest to them,
carrying the weight of that lonely pain.

We know so little
of their struggles,
those dark chapters.

 

Yet through it all,
these great souls held tight
to one unshakeable belief:
“I will see this through.”
And in the end, they did.



When you’re stuck in the mud,
unable to move,

When you’ve sunk to the ocean floor,
forgetting your dreams—

These moments,
these very moments
reveal what success could never show you.
This is sacred time.

These moments
are your chance
to forge belief
into something unbreakable.



So come – 
do what you must do
today.
Just a little.
That’s enough.



Our world spins faster
than we can follow,
days blur past,
change comes too quick,
and we panic,
afraid of falling behind.

But listen:
you don’t need to rush.
All the time you need
has already been given to you.

Step by step,
never giving up,
there are treasures
only persistence can find.



Tonight, your sadness might grow wings
and fly away
to some distance place.

And when morning comes,
when you open eyes,
the world before you
might be completely new.



Today’s single step becomes one grain of light.
Someday, you’ll have built a path of light.

And then,
just like those great ones before you,
you’ll become someone
who gives courage
and hope
to everyone around you.
