By Esther Cohen

Each of us have a shining inner light that emanates from the depth of our soul. Some people call it ‘aura’, some call it  ‘presence’, some call it an ‘inner glow’. It is a gift and a blessing, and it is what makes us different from everyone else.

Our light is unique to us. It is forever present, whether we are aware of it or not. At times it may feel as if our light is dimed by challenges as we struggle to see the path ahead with clarity. The more we accept, embrace, and believe in ourselves and our purpose, the brighter our light shines out again.

You, I, and everyone around us bring something distinctive to our world. In our inimitable way, we illuminate aspects of life and living for us and for those around us.

“Let your light shine so bright that others can see their way out of the dark” (pb)

Be that light that brightens up someone’s day. Believe in yourself. Believe that you have what it takes. Have trust that your light will illuminate your path to achieve your purpose in life. And while you shine your light, you will be chasing away your own dark times and the darkness for all those around you.

A little light chases away much darkness.

A single light can start a whole new bright glow that warms the heart and chases away the murky times.  We each have a part to play.  Why not start right now?
