Be The Light
For many people, this feels like a time of stress and darkness. But we will all be okay.
Someone shared with me recently this concept: Perhaps I am living at this moment in history to be one of those who bring the light.
Right now the world needs our light. Any love and kindness and generosity and positive energy that we can bring to the world right now is a true gift. It is desperately needed.
I may not feel I can do this all the time, or every day, but I know I can do this a great deal.
There are young people around us right now who are scared and unsure and need comfort. I can bring a smile, and kindness, and reassurance to their world. It may be as simple as being an example of what is possible.
There are people around us noticing how we are moving through the world. They are noticing the energy that we are bringing to our day, and can see that we’re trying our hardest to be that kind, caring person that the world needs right now.
Don’t take this as pressure, just do your best. Be at your best, and bring the best you can at all times. This is a gift of light to a dark world that seems very cruel right now. But love always wins out. Kindness is always the better path. Ask yourself “Is it loving?” When we see the way people are being treated, simply ask “is it loving?” Then bring the love. It’s a gift of light to the world, and you are here to do that right now.
