I believe we all have light to share. Recently, I was called on
to define what I call “light.” I'm still not sure exactly how to define it. On
one hand, I believe our light is “that of God within us” which I get from the
Religious Society of Friends, a.k.a. Quakers. I was trying to define it without
the sense of religion. I believe
you do not need to believe in God to find your light.
Being human, or I would argue even animal, qualifies us to
have something special and wonderful that no one else on earth has. That
something special is our potential light.
But the trick is, am I talking about a passion for
something, a drive or ambition, some type of skill? That's not quite it.
Self-esteem comes closer. We do need to feel good about ourselves to
acknowledge and use our light. But low self-esteem does not indicate an absence
of light.
Maybe it is believing in ourselves, knowing that we are
special and wonderful, and then following through on putting ourselves to good
use. I will keep working on this definition. Any ideas?
