THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR INNER LIGHT
DOES NOT DIM THE LIGHT OF OTHERS

All stars in the galaxy are not equally bright, yet they do not outshine each other.
Each has its own beauty, like each moment of our life has its own value and meaning.

When we are shining naturally in everything we do, our urge to dim the light of others voluntarily ceases. Only when we
have ego attached to our own success do we find it difficult to be happy for others. A naturally inspired heart will find joy in
everything. Dr Wayne Dyer said, “Have a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing.” Our job is to be aware of
our feelings, then shift out anything that weakens us. Why is it that we become so insecure when we see others in the lime-
light? Why do we become emotional when we see a colleague being promoted, or a friend’s child have with a grade of 99%
or a relative or friend receiving a lot of attention on social media for their good work? It is all about self-acceptance. Unless
I know and understand myself and have learned to love the person I am and everything about me, I will continue compar-
ing myself to others which then, will be the death of my own success. There is no need to constantly evaluate myself. I am
perfect in my own imperfections and beautiful in my own way. Everyone has his or her own time to shine, so be unique and
memorable. I have a niece in San Francisco, who often said to me, “Auntie, you just always see good in others. ” I tell her
that I don’t really have a choice Shona (treasure), I only see myself in others."
