Shine On!

"To be a star you must shine your own light, follow your own path, and don't worry about the darkness, for that is when the stars shine brightest."

I believe this quote can really relate to a lot of us trying to unveil our own inner light within ourselves, filled with truth and love. One of the reasons I teach yoga is because I love how we can connect to our most inner selves while on our mats. Our journey on our mats becomes this sacred space for us to be vulnerable, to be open to grace, and guides us toward our inner light within. Although whenever there is light, there is always darkness, but isn't that how everything in life is? There are always opposites in life; sun and the moon, black and white, good and the bad, happiness and sadness, love and pain etc.  For us to really grow in life we must learn from the darkness and allow our inner light within to shine through. 

I believe once we can really tune into our inner light/spirit we can begin to realize that this light exists within all beings everywhere. We can begin to recognize that we share this infinite breath filled with life and love. We all desire a life free of suffering and a life full of love and peace. Ultimately, we all are one. We are all connected. We are all divine beings. 

As Nelson Mandela said, "Who are we not to shine?" 

Be a star, be yourself, be a beacon of inspiration and hope!

Shine on!
