When our hearts are
light
When our cup
runneth over with JOY
When we know the
gift we are
When we know the
gift this life is
When for no reason
and for a million reasons
We are HAPPY
The light we SHINE
ON others
And into the world
Is boundless
Pure energy
Uplifting
Healing
Soothing
Inspiring
Expanding…
There
is a country song, Get Your Shine On
which I love by a band called Florida
Georgia Line. It is a clever play on
words about Moonshine but I just love singing the line: Baby,
Get your shine on. It makes me feel
good. A friend’s 7 year old daughter,
Lucy, was singing that line with a twang that normally doesn’t exist and
hearing her lightened my heart. It was a
combination of the words and the sense of joy in her singing that uplifted me
in that moment. Now, when I listen to
that song or sing it myself, I hear Lucy’s
voice and smile from the inside out.
The
effect we have on each other is immeasurable.
Someone writes a song because that’s just what they do and it is
launched into the world through a singer who performs because that’s just what
he or she does and the joy they put into what they do reaches all of us
privileged to hear it. We all do this in
ways we recognize and ways we don’t because we are simply doing what we do,
living our life, following our passions.
Our
happiness, our light hearts make a difference in this world. The invitation this day and throughout your
life is the inquiry: What makes me come alive? inspired by the wisdom of Howard Thurman
who said: Don’t ask what the world needs…what the world needs is what makes you
come alive.
Getting
our shine on requires us to tune into our Self and cultivate the potential
within, the limitless vitality that infuses us with happiness for no reason and
a million reasons. There are gifts
within us waiting to be opened, to be acknowledged so we can express the joy
that is.
When we connect to this space, we shine our light on others and into
the world. We are pure energy of the
heavens, uplifting, healing, inspiring, soothing and expanding.
If
you know the song, sing this line all day long and see the effect it has on
you: Baby,
get your shine on! If you don’t know
the song, just say silently or aloud: Get you shine on! and see what the words ignite within you.
