This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm going to let it shine;
Let it shine, let it shine,
All the time.
Hide it under a bushel, NO,
I'm going to let it shine,
Hide it under a bushel, NO,
I'm going to let it shine;
Let it shine, let it shine,
All the time.
The bright spirit that is within you is your energy expressing itself. When we are in a mode where our hearts are filled with joy and love, then our face lights up and other people who are also bright lights are attracted to our life like moths to a flame. At this point we can know the joy of true friendship and can discuss any topic without bickering over small points.
The light of your energy form shines brightest when you have a heart filled with love for all. It expands when we reach out to help someone else, and contracts when we say, or do, something that hurts another person. You have the ability to turn on another person's light by merely giving them a smile, or a word of encouragement.
At the slightest provocation our hearts respond with joy and love, our face lights up, our eyes sparkle, and anyone who sees our face rejoices with us.
On the other hand, if we are angry or sad, our faces are contorted with pain and sorrow. Anyone looking at our countenance feels gloomy, or distressed. We have a great impact on everyone we meet, even if we don't know them personally. So we must ask ourselves what kind of impact are we having on other people and is that impact what we are striving for in life?
Is it our obligation to care about how we make other people feel? Let's just say that what goes around, comes around. If we are going around like a dark cloud, raining on other people's parades, we will feel gloomy and sad ourselves and the feedback we get will likely be negative causing us to further cycle down. On the other hand, if we put love and acceptance in our eyes, in the smile on our face, people respond with smiles back and usually have a positive word to say to us. This increases our own feelings of self worth and our smile is even brighter.
It is important to smile with your eyes as well as your lips, for your eyes are the window to the soul and can speak volumes of love and peace when you look into another's eyes. If they see judgement and ill will, they will feel a sting in their hearts and spend the day in a blue funk and they will carry your ill will all through their day and pass along this gloom and ill will to everyone else they meet.
But, if you take a moment before going out-or in your own home-and put love and acceptance in your eyes then when you meet another person you will lift their spirits and they will pass along your feelings of love and good will to the next person they meet. That person will then pass love along to the next person he meets, and the circles created by your smile of love will go out into the world and touch uncounted numbers of other people. A loving smile is like a rock thrown into a pond, the ripples spread out further than the eye can see.
