Own Your Brilliance -- Yes, Shine Bright Like a Diamond!

Just got off the phone with a dear friend.  She and I seem to be learning similar lessons in different forms.  Being a person with an open heart that is full of goodness is a beautiful thing--except, when you share your goodness with those who do not value it.  Some people like to use and abuse what is offered to them.  They are there to leech, to suck you dry and take.  Thus... 

For those of us who have pure intentions and give freely to others, we often have to learn the essential lesson called:

 Discernment. 

Giving to others is a wonderful experience.  Knowing you are in the flow of goodness and that this flow is never-ending and miraculous is incredible.  However, it is important to distinguish who will value this gift and who may trample on it or not even care about what you are offering.  We can learn to be discerning and notice the energy of others.  Then, we can use our gifts with a laser focus to effect tremendous, positive change in our World.

Each of us is created with tremendous brilliance within.  We are each intriniscally valuable and amazing--gifted in ways we haven't yet begun to comprehend.  As we enter 2013, it is essential we begin to wake up to this beauty and sparkle within.  And, we must also learn to value ourselves enough and be discerning enough that we share our gifts with those who are truly open to it.

So, friends, as Rihanna sings it so well, "We are beautiful like diamonds in the sky...Shine bright like a diamond...Shine bright like a daimond...We are beautiful like diamonds in the skye..."

Shine today. Use your gifts wisely.  Open your eyes and ears and be aware.  Choose well when and where you offer the diamond within  you.

Be brilliant as you enter 2013!


With a smile,
