inner light


I have been working on a definition of inner light as I see it. This light is a quality of love for yourself and others coupled with mental or emotional strength; when shared with others it makes yourself and those around you feel optimistic and even happy or inspired.

Your light is not a skill or talent. It is a feeling. Your light can be expanded in different ways. Some challenges that we meet in life call us to use this feeling of love and strength. Though the struggle is not necessary. Doing kind things for others and keeping kindness in all of your daily activities can develop your light. The more you share it the brighter it will be.

Most importantly, feel it and use it in your own life. Nurturing and encouraging yourself is the best place to begin. You have this light. Look for it, feel it, and then share it!

Haiku: with your words (mostly)

Inner light defined:
Love for yourself and others
Emotional strength

It is a feeling
Diff'rently expandable
To our challenges

Such as kind things done
Using love and strength's feelings
Yet not struggling

Develop your light
The more you share it daily
The brighter it is

Use it in your life
Nurturing yourself, begin.
You have this light. There...

Look for it within
Encouraging yourself
Feel it and share it
