Burn Brightly!

The light of a single candle can illuminate a darkened room. One flickering flame gives way to vision, clarity, a bit of warmth, the lifting of an eerie veil, and a ray of hope. Such a simple, seemingly insignificant item embodying so much promise.

Now, look in the mirror! YOU are that candle!

Each one of us holds incredible opportunities and abilities within ourselves. You have the ability to illuminate a darkened room. You have the choice to fulfill your vision, to bring clarity, to envelope others in warmth, to tear off the weighted veil of darkness and become a ray of hope. That is all within you. Don't let anyone ever linger over you long enough to snuff your flame. It is a persistent spark that, once properly ignited, can work miracles!

And, in that same context, don't be the one to dim the light in someone else. Instead, fan their flame. Fuel their passions and you will find that your own luminescence multiplies immeasurably. It is a wonderful blessing to be the catalyst behind great achievements . . . whether it is your own or someone else's.

Burn brightly, my friends!
