As we work to create light for others, we naturally light our own way. Mary Anne Radmacher
Today's quote kind of goes along with yesterday's. When we decide to do or say something for someone and it brings light to their day or world, even if just for a moment, then the by-product is we have been lit up as well. There are numerous studies out there about how helping others is the best way to help ourselves. Depressed? Do something for someone else? Stressed? Go participate in an outreach of some sort that will help others. Apathetic/lethargic? Get out of yourself and light up someones world. You'll find that your way will become clearer. Your apathy will shake off and a path will be made known. Now if you go to light up someones world with the motivation that you will receive benefit as well then expect it to go wrong. It doesn't work that way. We must be light bearers to others with pure motives, wanting only to see their world light up. I just thought I would let you in on the secret of being a light bearer but don't go abusing this knowledge, be worthy of bearing light in the world of others.
