Shine Brighter

 

The poster says:

When you stand in your power, your light is going to trigger everyone else’s shadow.  Your job isn’t to fix that.  Your job is to shine brighter.

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

The other morning, as I was looking through LinkedIn, I saw a poster that said, Stop looking for the light at the end of the tunnel.  You are the light and you carry it with you.  

I thought how appropriate that was.  We often depend on others to shed the light and therefore help us out.

Then I saw the poster shown above a couple of hours later in an email.  The message is a powerful reminder that we need to stand in our own power and shine our own light.  

As we approach the shortest day of the year, stand tall and shine brighter.

Blessings,
Judy

Build A Door

 

The picture says:

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.  -- Milton Berle

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

Many people think that they need to wait for something to happen to them before they can make a change... whether it is about work, home life, or taking a risk.  As Milton Berle says, sometimes you need to build the door to create the opportunity.  

We are not educated as we grow up to look to creating our own thing.  We are taught always to be inside the box.  As we look around, the box is broken and maybe even crushed.  We need to do new things to give ourselves and the next generations a new objective.  

Many of us remember jobs, for example, that no longer exist and technology that is gone that was once state of the art.  As we grow and get creative, we can invent new ways of being.  

Blessings,
Judy

Just Your Life

What is this? This is just your life. So you do your part, and the rest is clear. It is clear because there has never been anything lacking, despite any beliefs you might have, despite any ideas you might have. There has never been anything lacking. - Elihu Genmyo Smith, "Do Your Best"

 

I really think that this quote says all there is to say about life.
