Building a Community of Light: Let Your Shine Inspire Others

I am a firm believer that we should allow and shine our light so others may find the courage to find their own light. For years I used to wish that so-and-so would just change a little so that we can "pull the cart through the river". I felt powerless and at the mercy of the other. Until one day ...

In my search I studied people who were standing in "full light". I learned that I had to become all that I desired - the peace while the storm runs its course. The confidence while the odds were against me. The joy in the rain. And eventually, I understood that we are all here to walk each other home. That we go through our "hardships" because this time around, it is my turn to learn and to become the light for others. Perhaps this troubling time is your opportunity to shine as a leader. What if this moment of "darkness" is your diamond in the making?

When we discover our light, we give others the permission to seek theirs and to shine their light as bright as they can. I must do nothing more than to shine my light, allow you to shine your light, and so we create a community who can stand proud next to the brightest star.

I shine my light so you may find your light. Will you join me and shine your light so we can build a community of light?
