Have you ever gazed at the night sky and marveled at all the shimmering stars? Countless like grains of sand on a dark beach.

Even though a star shines for itself, it shares its light with all around. No matter how dark the universe, their light shines forth. Stars don’t worry about outshining each other. They don’t compare or compete. Who watches them is no concern of theirs.

You are a star.

You are meant to shine through darkness, and to share your light with others. There’s no need to compare or compete. Don’t worry about outshining or being outshone. Take no thought for who is watching.

Just shine. Shine! Shine! Shine!
