“You're an original, an individual, a masterpiece. Celebrate that; don't let your uniqueness make you shy. Don't be someone other than the wonder you are. Every star is important to the sky." - Douglas Pagels
Dear Friends,
If you are experiencing a mad rush Monday, please simply re-read the quote above. Let the message nourish your heart and guide your way.
Otherwise, please let the reflection below seep into your soul and infuse your week.
Blessings to all,
Charlene
Consider this...
The universe is vast, with stars well beyond what we have seen and numbered. Imagine, if stars could think and talk, they might sometimes say:
"Who am I to make a difference?"
"I am one among so many."
"Many stars are bigger and brighter than I am."
"Look at the ones closer to a sun. Maybe they are more valuable than I am."
If all the stars who thought that way suddenly disappeared because they felt diminished self worth, the cosmos itself would be diminished. The universe would be less bright. The heavens, less wondrous.
Every star matters. Every human being matters. So, let's celebrate our uniqueness and shine.
One more thought before closing...
Consider what one small stone can do when it's tossed into a pond. Visualize the circles that ripple out, growing larger and farther, impacting the whole body of water.
Like one small stone and one little star, you and I are significant. We make a difference. Let's not be shy. Let's shine.
With love and reverence,
Charlene
