Shine! Shine! Shine!

What makes me shine?

I always wanted to make a difference in this world. Always felt that I was here to really impact people, be an inspiration. But never knew how I was going to accomplish this let alone what it was that I was supposed to do! That's just my personality. I feel I have to "do" .
                                           Lightbulb!
              It's not a matter of doing.
                                 It's a matter of just being.
                   That's how I shine.
                                That's how I inspire.
          Just be.... me....
But it's not easy some days. I have those mental wars of why I can't do something, anything.
Then I hear a good song, taste a strawberry that was perfect, or smile at someone while walking down the street, and they smile back.
                                                   Simple.
Life disapears in an instant.  I want to live now, in the present. 
                                            I have it all, and I just need to be.


As the late Jack Layton said in his letter:
     ......love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.

Liked this music video as well.

Everything we do has an impact on someone, somewhere, somehow.

  Consciousness, awareness, passion, stay present.
