Day 82 of wisdom
“An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.”
Anonymous
A lantern is useless if it does not illuminate it's environment. A lantern is not made for aesthetic purpose, but for giving light, and providing illumination for people, but for that illuminating ability to be effectual, it must be oiled, and its thread properly trimmed.
We are all made for a purpose, and for us to achieve this purpose in life we must pay attention to some critical aspects of lives, we must take care of ourselves in ways that will not affect or reduce our functionality and effectiveness. We must take care of our spiritual, mental, physical, psychological, and physiological life. We must not be too mindful of other people that we forget to take care of ourselves.
Destinies are tied to our success in life, and if we break down without achieving our purpose, we would have failed those who look up to us for support. A bus without enough fuel to go the distance required of its passengers will not get to its destination, so if we must be relevant, and useful to our generation, we must be well prepared in other not to fail those who are dependent on us for whatever they need to progress in life.
Sometimes, we look down on ourselves as though we are not worthy to be looked up to, but we must realize, we have more within us than we can ever imagine, but will not be made manifest until we out it to use.
A poem written by Marianne Williamson says,
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.
Shine your light brightly, for that is what you were made for.
