In my head, I often compare people to stars. Each of us having our own unique fire burning inside of us, the fire for life & our passions that we hold so dear. It is up to us to determine how brightly our light will shine. The world is full of these twinkling stars that have so much potential and whose paths may or may not cross. During our lifetimes we encounter many such stars. Some of whom are with us our whole lives, slowly burning and nurturing our spark. Others may appear in and out like a shooting star, a brilliant flash of light. Even though they may have only been with us for a short amount of time, their flame burns so intensely that it marks our soul. Thus leaving us changed forever.
I have felt for a long time, that in this randomly well-organized universe there is a plan, fate or destiny you may call it. That everyone that comes into your life is there for a reason. Your path is connected to those which belong to the people whom you are destined to meet. Though it may take a while to become active this connection is one that can never be broken. You can dance circles around each other, never noticing the other until one of you makes the pivotal choice needed. The choice that sends your paths onto the course that causes your stars to collide. Usually this happens when you have need for this person, whether you realize the need or not. But the two of you were meant to meet at that time to fill the existing void. I truly believe this is why we can met some people and after a very short time we feel completely connected to them. That feeling that even though you don’t know each other well, you have known them your whole life. This usually comes with an amazing amount of trust. These collisions don’t happen very often, but when they do it is an amazing experience. Keep these people close and make sure to nurture this relationship often. For these connected stars are meant to help us create beauty in the world.
There are also the stars whose light has dimmed or gone dark. They are often drawn to your brightness as a way to escape the black. Your light can be the very thing that can help push aside their grey and feed their inner fire. The more you shine for them, the stronger they reflect that light. Until the time comes when they can once again keep their own fire burning bright. I have experienced this myself. The need of having my own spark dim and then later finding the help to relight it. It is an amazing feeling to once again have my passions aflame. To be free of the shadows that I was lost in for so long.
You might not know when you are the ray of light for someone who needs help escaping their hell. You might be surprised at all those you affect in your own life. So it is vital that we try our very best at being the best us that we can be. Smile as often as you can, I know it’s not always easy. But if you can, do so, for they are very contagious. Do something nice for someone else. It can be something small like popping in just to say hello, letting someone go ahead of you in line, or even sharing a drink. Any small act of kindness without expectations of a return can go such a long way. Spread some love and joy around. Never ever forget or be afraid to tell those you care about that you love them. They need to hear it. Life is too short sometimes and those we care about can be gone in the blink of an eye. So make sure that you show them often how you feel. Always pay good deeds forward. Let your fire burn strongly, BECOME THE LIGHT. For together we can make the world a much brighter place, one person at a time.
