Let Your Light Shine Through

We are masterpieces for we are uniquely created, masterfully crafted with our traits or qualities, gifts and talents to shine. ~~~ Quote by Poet ~~~ LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE THROUGH We are all given gifts and talents. It is up to us to acknowledge or discover and it is our responsibility to work on, develop, fine tune, optimize and use our gifts and talents to light up our stars to shine bright and spread the light reflecting what are given to us into the world. I wanted to be a dancer when I was a little girl. I just settled on dreaming of it for where I grew up; the focus was more on academics, than artistic talents for they were more expensive to pursue, going to private lessons and requiring transportation for practices. However, I was always chosen to dance and perform in front of big audiences. In my heart and in my soul, I have a talent in dancing and I let that gift shone bright to spread the light on the people watching. Fate intervened, marrying young, having children, divorcing spouses, becoming a single parent and working like a log to provide for and support my children. I became their shining star in my own way, their light to see the bright side of life. I gave my all in every position I had. I developed my traits and qualities, learned and used all the resources and became skilled in each of them. I shone for contributing my knowledge, my proposals for better procedures; thereby, getting promotions, receiving awards, praises giving me significance. I am now in my golden years and find my star shining more brightly for I am sharpening my talent in dancing and discovered my other talents in writing poetry, drawing and choreography. Here I am, a star shining brightly spreading the light reflecting the gifts and talents given to me to share this bright light to everyone I touch.
