Finding Your Light in Turbulent Times

Scroll through the headlines and it’s hard to ignore: wars raging, political division deepening, climate disasters disrupting lives, economies teetering. The news cycle is turbulent, loud, and often heavy with fear and despair. It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of so much uncertainty.

But here’s the truth: who you are matters. What you do matters. How you choose to engage with the world matters.

When everything outside feels chaotic, we can return to our inner compass—our purpose. That’s where our true stability lives.

Choosing How to Respond

Every day, the world presents us with a choice.

• We can add to the noise of anger, blame, and hopelessness.

• Or we can stand in our power, take a breath, and decide to bring light—however small—into the darkness.

  
  

Think about recent events:

• During wildfires and floods, neighbors have opened their homes to strangers.

• In times of political tension, people have created safe spaces for honest, compassionate dialogue.

• Amid global conflict, communities have gathered for peace vigils, refusing to give up on hope.

These acts may not change the headlines overnight, but they ripple out. They remind us that the system reflects what we put into it. Fear breeds more fear. But love, purpose, and courage create space for healing.

Reflection Questions to Guide You

In moments when the news feels overwhelming, pause and ask yourself:

• What is my role right now?

• How can I bring light to this darkness?

• What is my deeper purpose in this season of life?

• Where do I find joy and renewal?

• Am I living in alignment with my values?

  
  

Your answers may shift as the world shifts—but returning to them regularly keeps you grounded.

Coaching as a Beacon

This work is not easy. Standing for light in dark times takes courage and clarity. That’s where coaching comes in. Coaching creates the space to reconnect with yourself, realign to your purpose, and discover the next right step.

In a divided world, you get to choose how you contribute. Will you add despair—or will you stand as a beacon of light for yourself and others?

The turbulence isn’t going away. But neither is your power.
