To any of you who are feeling helpless, I can relate.

Here's what you CAN do.

Be inventive. Be innovative.

The less we have to work with, the more creative we become. The more we have to work with, the more conceited we become.

It's actually a greater burden on the soul to have more to work with:

for unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required, and to whom men much commit, the more of him will they ask. - Luke 12: 48

This is the time to invent and innovate. If something is not working in your life, and you see no light at the end of the tunnel, then be the light. In a dark tunnel, we have no clue what lurks before and behind us. Would it surprise you to find there are countless others just like you wondering when the light will show itself?

Be that light, and take what little you have and dare to burn brightly. Others will flock to you, thinking your light is the end of the tunnel. That may not be so, but I guarantee you that they'd be overjoyed to know the things bumping around in the darkness were never spooky monsters, but were clumsy souls just like them wanting to be found and wanting a direction to head in. We may still end up lost in a dark tunnel, but we wouldn't be lonely anymore.

Humans are mortal, squishy things that can die from an ill-placed needle. This was the cost of God giving us exclusive Rights to Birth into the world that which was not, and yet now is.

He modeled us in the form of the Creator; so go forth and Create, for God's sake!

Start small, but aspire greatly!
