Bright Lights

In today's world, there is so much negativity, I wouldn't know where to start listing it all. Here we are trying to shine our lights to all, and the negativity is doing it's best to cover the light. Just think if we made our light soooooo bright it would drown out the darkness. I'm sure there are lots of simple ways to make our light shine brighter.

Well, to start with, how about just smiling. Look in the mirror and smile at yourself. See, it makes you feel better already, and this in turn makes your light shine brighter. OK, now when you go out, keep that smile going. Smile to everyone you pass on the street, in a store, waiting in line, or in a waiting room. Almost everyone smiles back. Now this makes their light switch on and they can spread their smile to the people they see.

Next, after you get the smiling thing down pat, while you're smiling, say "HI!" to all the people you pass. I do and most people say "HI" back and walk on with a smile on their face. See, the light is getting brighter yet.

Now this one always works. When you see someone whose "light" is pretty dim, find something about them to compliment (especially the elderly). "What a great shirt you have!" "You have a beautiful baby!" "I love your dress!" "Your white hair just glows!" "Your children are so well behaved!" I attended a seminar once on how to help stop teenage suicides. The speaker was a principal at a high school that had an especially high rate of suicide and troubled kids. He said most kids just don't seem to get the right kind of attention. One of the things he had the teachers and the students do was to give at least nine compliments a day. This along with other things brought his high suicide rate to zero. That school must not have needed overhead lights, I'm sure the students were producing a lot of light.

I always try to give a lot of compliments, even if I say it just because I really do like their dress, shirt, baby or whatever. It's especially great because not only are you making another persons light shine brighter, but it also makes you feel so good yourself that it doubles your light.

This will at least get your light started and before you know it you'll be finding great ways of your own to make your light brighter. Before you know it your lights will be on high beams.
