“The same light
you see in others
is shining within you,
too”.
“Oh, she’s fantastic!”
“He’s brilliant at football!”
You and I
have said things similar to this,
seeing a ‘brilliance’ in others,
and comparing ourselves to them.
While it is true
that each one of us
has a special talent,
we don’t always ‘see’ it
in ourselves.
We are often so busy
looking at others ‘shine’
that we do not see
the light that is burning brightly
in ourselves.
And very often
others who see this very same light
that is in us
and they wish
that ‘they could be like us’!
It’s quite a good ‘exercise’
(especially for the mind)
to sit down
and just think about our own accomplishments.
They are there
and, sometimes,
the simplest ones
are the Best and the Strongest ones.
This will also
build up
our Confidence in ourselves.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!

I never thought of it like that. That's actually so deep and very true!
