Dare To Let Your Light Shine
You were born to shine.
YES YOU!
You are just as special as anyone else.
Just as talented.
Just as gifted.
So
Don't hide your light.
LET IT SHINE.
Don't hide your heart.
LET IT SHINE.
Don't hide your gift.
LET IT SHINE.
Don't be afraid.
Your talents won't let you down.
Don't worry.
You can't fail at what you were born for.
YOU WERE BORN TO SHINE
so let yourself shine.
A singer cannot not sing
anymore than a songbird can refuse to sing.
An artist cannot fail to paint or create
anymore than the sun can keep from shining.
A writer can't avoid writing
anymore than snow burdened clouds
can keep snow from falling through their cracks.
So don't worry timid star
about not having what it takes.
YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!
Take your passion,
polish it daily,
use it to make
your dreams come true.
(YOU CAN DO IT!)
You may not see yourself as a star
or feel like one.
The idea may even appear ridiculous to you.
But our feelings have a way of misleading us.
They often blind us to seeing ourselves
in a true light.
The truth is
we are much better than our clouded vision suggests.
Possess more star qualities than imaginable.
Capable of achieving much more than we think.
So don't pay too much attention to feelings,
doubts or fears,
or foolishly let them control you.
Ignore them
Instead,
FOCUS ON YOUR GIFT.
Focus on what you want to accomplish.
Give it everything,
YOUR WHOLE HEART AND SOUL.
Lay it all on the line,
and good things will happen.
Doors will open.
You can count on it!
In the heavens there are billions of stars,
some greater than others.
Pasted with star glue onto black velvet sky,
some sparkle like diamonds,
others gleam like pearls.
Some seem to dance,
others to tell a story,
some seem to shyly smile,
while others boldly laugh out loud.
Each has its own unique beauty,
light and purpose.
SO DO YOU!
Alone each star is beautiful,
but together,
they are breathtaking!
Instead of outshining one another,
they compliment and increase
each other's beauty.
In heaven's beauty contest,
they are all winners.
On the stage of life
where we live,
everyone who let's their light shine
is a star
and
A WINNER TOO !
There are no losers.
Therefore don't diminish your starlight
by comparing it to others.
Remember other stars
only help us to shine more
and be more beautiful.
As it is impossible to count the stars,
so too is it impossible for you
to know the depth of wonderful things
that could happen
if you will step out in faith,
and dare to let your light shine.
Step out!
Take that chance!
SHINE STAR SHINE!
Someone is going to see your light,
Someone is going to be blessed,
(including you)
and that Dear Star,
(more than awards, honors, wealth, or fame)
IS WHAT YOU WERE BORN FOR.
Of course there are no laws
that forbid you to enjoy the other blessings
should they come your way.
SHINE
and they will come
sure as shooting stars.....
