Embracing Our Inner Light: A Journey Towards Kindness and Awareness
Written on
Recognizing Our Inner Radiance
Have you ever wondered why, throughout much of our lives, we struggle to recognize our own brilliance? It's so easy to highlight our flaws and failures, yet when it comes to embracing our strengths, we often hesitate, fearing it might appear boastful.
Hello, I’m Denée, and I embody kindness.
Can you pinpoint a light you radiate in the world? (You possess many; begin by acknowledging just one.)
What would transpire if we felt liberated to celebrate our strengths? What if we ceased to diminish the impact we have on our surroundings and beyond?
Wait—beyond? Let me explain—it's astonishing!
The Science of Light
Light is a fascinating topic, so let’s delve into some scientific insights about it.
Light travels across both space and time, and when we gaze at the stars, we’re, in a sense, peering back in time due to the distances involved and the duration it takes for that light to reach us.
A light-year represents the distance light travels in one Earth year, roughly equivalent to 6 trillion miles.
Can you fathom how vast 6 trillion miles really is?
For example, the light we observe from Polaris, the North Star, is approximately 320 years old! Astronomers estimate that the light from the Milky Way's center takes nearly 25,000 years to reach our planet.
Thus, when we admire a starry night sky, we are witnessing light that has journeyed an almost inconceivable distance to illuminate our present moment.
The Ripple Effect of Our Actions
We often fail to grasp how our present actions can influence future generations. The energy we project is eternal.
The light within you—your essence—radiates throughout time and space, affecting history and transcending boundaries. Those loved ones who once brought light to your life, even if they have since departed, continue to shine through the love you hold for them.
Their light remains vibrant… and so will yours!
Today, take a moment to affirm this out loud (even if just to yourself):
Hello, my name is _________ and my light is ___________.

I was deeply moved by a beautiful poem by Mary Kate Parrish—reminding us that we can stand tall like trees, resilient despite life's challenges!
