Shine your Light.

Every day, there is more. Sometimes it seems as if the news of the world and all that is unfolding is nothing but bad. Violence, tragedy, lies, blindness and death. The greatest danger of unconsciously consuming the negative truths and information of an often dark world is immunity and disconnection. We must never allow ourselves to become complacent and numb. We must look at the world around us through a disciplined and discerning eye. We must do our part by shining our light in the darkness. It is why we are here.

How are you feeling today? For what do you feel passionate? What is it that stirs your soul and makes your heart beat a little faster? If nothing comes to mind, you are disconnected. You simply need to take the steps necessary to reboot and reconnect to your soul.

Spend a few minutes in silence, focusing on nothing but your breath. Notice how relaxing it is to simply let go, even for a few minutes. Take some time to consider all of the gifts that you have been awarded, all of the blessings for which you can be grateful. Write them down. Do something today that brings you great joy (even if it is seemingly small).

Success or sabotage? Indifference is a mask that hides the beauty of your soul. It may preserve your existence, but it prevents you from living. It sabotages your ability to experience true joy.

Is this going to be an incredible day? Take the time to appreciate all of the gifts that this day has to offer, remembering that THIS DAY is never coming again.
