Life has a way of dimming our inner light. The constant hustle, the seemingly never-ending to-do lists, and the constant influx of external demands can leave us feeling drained, stressed, and burnt out.

If you’ve been navigating through life’s stressors and find yourself in a place where your spark feels more like a flicker, this is an invitation to pause and consider a new perspective — a mental reframe that could reignite your vitality.

The Parable of the Three Light Bulbs

Imagine three light bulbs connected to the same electrical current. Scientific law says electricity flows equally to all bulbs. Yet, one bulb shines brilliantly, another glows dimly, and the third remains dark, burned out. How is this possible?

The answer lies not in the electricity itself but in each bulb’s capacity to handle and convert that energy into light. The bright bulb fully receives and utilizes the electrical energy, the dim bulb struggles to make use of it, and the burnt-out bulb can’t process it at all.

Now, let’s substitute electricity for vitality — our life force energy.
