It's A "Mirror Image"

Really

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
You shine when you Smile

“The same lights you see in others

are shining within you,

too”

Here is a ‘Mirror Image’

and it is something that we often forget.

Every one of us

has a ‘light’ inside of us

that is just waiting to shine.

We are so busy in our lives,

looking after others

and Encouraging their ‘lights’,

that we forget

that we also can (and do) Shine,

and that we need to

Encourage ourselves too.

When someone says to you:

“Oh, you are shining tonight, you look beautiful”,

how do you feel?

Good.

Happy.

Encouraged.

This has a very Positive effect on us,

both Mentally and Emotionally.

“Light”

helps us to see when all around us is dark.

Also,

we need “Light” in order to Live.

Every single living creature

needs “Light” to survive.

“Light”

has been described as

“Energy”.

One question is:

do we have the Energy

to Light up other peoples’ Lives,

as well as our own?

One way of ‘showing’ our “Light”

is to know what Qualities we have,

to help ourselves and others.

To do this,

we must give ourselves

Time.

Time to Rest.

Time to Meditate.

Time to Reflect.

And like that real mirror,

we will reflect “Light”

and spread Positive Peace around us.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
