Radiance is connected to physical energy. It is like keeping your battery amped and charged. It is about growing and expanding. It is about putting your best foot forward and feeling genuinely positive. Your life experiences can contribute to radiance or can dampen the shine.
It is the truth of who you are.
Have you seen someone so happy that their happiness shows in their face? Or maybe you looked in the mirror and saw that sparkle in your eyes, that shining brightness?
· It comes from looking for the good.
· It comes from a happy mind.
· It comes from love.
· It comes from contentment.
Not all days are good. But radiance comes from the self-care that nurtures us from the inside out and makes even the not so good days a little bit better. The importance of taking care of our body, mind and spirit is what makes radiance reflect the light of our hearts out into the world.
When we fill the world with light it illuminates goodness and life can be dazzling. When we claim the light by being kind, compassionate and caring then radiance becomes visible to all around us. Beauty is a radiance that originates from within and comes from inner peace, security, and a strong character.
When we create connections, we are open to possibilities and can serve others in ways we have not thought of before. You can see radiance all around:
· a mother cuddling with her newborn baby
· the light streaming in a window and warming your body with sparkles
· a groom gazing at his bride, with love, as she walks towards him
· a friend holding your hand in a crisis and just listening
· a sunset shared with a loved one
Love can light up radiance. When you understand who you are and live true to yourself, then life becomes full of radiance. Creativity arrives, leads to opportunities and the radiance of your being glows from within. Let your light shine as inspiration to others. Figure out what lights you up.
“Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen-that stillness becomes a radiance.”
