"Never dim your light, so others may shine. When you do, the entire world becomes darker."

Not sure where I heard that. Probably some feel good movie. Either way, it's stuck with me. I think I used to do that. Hell, I think I still do. I think most people I know do. It sounds a little selfish on the surface. But ... I wonder. Is leading by example without merit? Who do we really help when we "dim our own light"?

I'm sure I intended on going somewhere specific with this entry when I started, but the point remains elusive. Perhaps I am afraid to let my light shine, because it would mean I have let go of things I held as utmost truths. Perhaps I am afraid to let my light shine because I fear the unleashing the inner asshole. Perhaps I am afraid that my light is not that bright at all. I believe I still have a lot of introspection to do here. Maybe that's why the point remains elusive. I hoped putting down the words would help, but some journeys you have to walk entirely within.

"I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude that the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" -- Unknown

reptilia:
That quotation sounds familiar, but I can't place it. Perhaps it's just one of those lines that just seems that way, if it is or if it isn't.

I don't think anything inspires me, actually. Inspires me to live my life? Perhaps life itself, and all the experiences, good and not so necessarily so, that it allows you to have. I was never good with these types of questions. blackeyed

it's amazing how simple the concept of living in the moment is but how hard it is to actually accomplish. my awakening took time but once i understood, it changed me forever.
