That Little Feeling

You know when you have that little spark of reassurance and confidence? That little ember of hope that manifests itself inside of your heart? You know that feeling? I do, and I think that is the best feeling in the world. It can be easy to discredit that feeling by thinking that it is irrational, short-lived, unimportant, and so random. But I believe that that little ember of reassurance and peace is one of the most important things we can feel. When you think about it, that “random” little feeling makes you feel really good––it brings about something that you couldn’t just think of on your own, so why down-play it? This feeling is definitely worthwhile. I mean, why would you discourage any hope that would come about from that feeling? Why discourage any hope that manifests itself to you, no matter how small? It doesn’t make any sense. And just because it might not last that long, doesn’t mean that it was fake or made-up––it was only short-lived because that was all your spirit needed to be encouraged and prompted to keep going.
