be the light.

"You are the light of the world." Matthew 5:14

Be the light.  Life is a whimsical gift. The secret to living a life that you love is letting it be exactly what it is. Not what you think it should be. Look around you. Pay close attention to the simple pleasures. The sweet little gifts. Notice the ones who offer you love & kindness. Those who listen& care without motive. Take responsibility for your own happiness. Not one single person, situation or circumstance will make you happy. It's completely up to you. Do your soul work. Every single day do one good thing for your soul. Take care of your mind. Speak gentle words to your heart. Let go of bitterness and anger. Forgive and move on. Don't slander. Don't gossip. Don't compare. Let your words be truth & light. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions.  Never lose sight that just living is fun. Read a delightful book. Go for a long walk with a sweet friend. Fill your mind with positive thoughts. Surround yourself with wonderful people. It's never too late to be who you've always wanted to be. Be generous. Be present. Be nice. Be funny. Be good. Be brave. Be honest. Don't blame. Don't settle. Don't criticize. Don't rush. Stay still. Stay quiet. Stay humble. Stay focused. Stay in your own lane and swim your own race. There is only one you.

This is the beginning of anything you want. God is for-ever chances. God is for-ever tries. Never forget that. Don't get stuck. Don't lose your wonder. Choose now. Choose grace. Choose joy.  Make a fairytale and go live it. It starts with you. There's no life that's better than yours. You are the light of the world. Be the light.
