If you have seen the film Stardust, there is a scene in the film where the heroine gets close to the man she loves. She’s a fallen star in the story. Every times she is near him she starts glowing as the love she feels for him radiates out of her.
This is exactly how I feel when I’m near or think about the people I love. Or when I look at the world through eyes of love. It does feel like a big glow coming from my heart.
And it got me thinking about all the things that make us ‘shine’ and all the things that make us ‘fade’.
Things that make us ‘fade’ might be unkindness, criticism, lack of support. Or having to do things we are told we ‘should’ do.
Things that make us ‘shine’ might be kindness, encouragement, support. Or doing things we like, love and enjoy.
Maybe we are all ‘fallen stars’ and our mission is to find the things that make us shine because when we shine, we radiate love to ourselves and to others and that can’t be a bad thing.
