In the quiet of your soul, there lives a sacred ember—a spark of the Divine that was woven into your being before you took your first breath. This is your internal flame. It is your joy, your purpose, and your unwavering truth.
The world will often try to cast a shadow over this light. There are seasons of heavy rain—grief, exhaustion, and the loud opinions of those who do not understand your glow. There are people who, in their own darkness, may try to blow out your candle because they have forgotten how to light theirs.
Do not let them simmer your flame.
Your light is not a public utility; it does not belong to the events of the day or the moods of the room. It is your altar. To keep it stoked and bright, you must become a fierce guardian of your own peace.
Tend to the wick: Practice the art of stillness to clear away the soot of daily stress.
Fuel the fire: Surround yourself with souls who reflect your light back to you, and engage in work that makes your heart beat with resonance.
Shield the glow: Learn that "no" is a sacred boundary that keeps the wind from scattering your energy.
When the world feels cold, look inward. Feed your fire with gratitude, fan it with hope, and remember that as long as you are breathing, your light is inextinguishable. You were not meant to merely survive the darkness; you were meant to illuminate it.
Keep burning. The world needs the specific hue of your light.
