Keep Shining

 

                                            Picture from e-buddhism.com

The picture says:

Let people judge you.

Let them misunderstand you.

Let them gossip about you.

What they think of you is not your problem.  Their opinions do not pay your bills.  So you stay kind, committed to love, and free in your authenticity, and no matter what they do or say….never doubt your worth or the beauty of your truth.  

You keep shining and let the haters hate.

*********************

Have you noticed that some people just seem to think that it is their right to judge and convict others for attitudes, actions, or beliefs that do not align with the one that is judging beliefs?

I am amazed when I watch videos of different animal species like a cat and a bear, becoming friends for years.  An amazing video showed the friendship between a sea lion and a dog.  I am sure that you have seen other videos like the friendship between a bear, a tiger, and a lion.  The animals are all different and still accept the other animal with all of its personality and actions.

Why do people react so differently to others?  Yes, there are exceptions where two different individuals will become friends but those seem to be less frequent.  

I believe that when we shine our light, our goodness, our kindness, and our personality, that we intimidate others.  The others make up judgements, sometimes lies, and spread rumours about us to make themselves feel bigger/better.

By continuing to be ourselves and ignoring the issues that the other people have, we become our best selves.  Our light shines.

Many blessings,

Judy
