“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within” – Elizabeth Kübler-Ross.
I find this is a great quote that triggers a lot of thoughts and helps us put in perspective what happens in our lives. It is relatively easy to sparkle in society when we are recognized by our peers, through our social status and other external ways of being recognized.
But what about that little light within us? Will it shine in the shadows beyond our fears? When the everything that makes us sparkle in broad daylight is gone?
It is difficult to foster that small light and make it large. Only a few people manage to grow it so that it illuminates others. It requires a lot of work on ourselves and to create a real difference in the world.
Still at the end it is what matters.
Go right now to kindle your internal light!
