Do You Glitter or Shine?

Glitter is only a reflection of something else. It can be purchased or borrowed. It is attractive and draws your attention, but when you get close, you realize the true light is coming from somewhere else.

Shine is something altogether different. That is when you give off light. That comes from inside. You just have it. You can't manufacture it. This comes from a desire to help others above yourself. That is doing the right thing no matter how much it hurts.

Everyday you wake up, you have a choice. You can try to look rich with glitter or you can be rich and shine. You can be self-focus or others-focused. Glitter is short term and shine is forever. When you shine, you will not only see your path, you will light the way for those around you.
