Shine Your Light!

So when I was in 8th grade I was in a musical called Godspell. It was about Bible stories that took place in a modern day middle school. We song at least a dozen songs that I can't recall, but there is one that I remember and still sing in my head to this day called "Light of The World". The reason why that is because the song teaches a valuable lesson, and it's still, and always will be, relevant to my life. The lyrics, "let your light so shine before men...so that they might know some kindness again", appeal to me and make me aware of myself and what kind of energy I'm putting out to other people. When others see that you are genuinely happy it becomes infectious, just like laughing. They see you are enjoying life, and if your life can be as good as it seems, then their life can be just as good. They will start to focus more on the positive things and less on the things that are wrong. On the other hand, if you are miserable, chances are you're making everyone else around you even more miserable. Even if you try to hide it, you may still give off a bad vibe. Misery loves company, and their are some people in this world who want people to feel just as bad as they do about their lives. However, being happy is a choice. We are the ones that decide if we are going to have either an amazing day or an awful day. Once people see you in control of your happiness then they are less likely going to try to steer you in the opposite direction. So if someone says or does something that makes you feel bad, don't give them power and allow them to take your joy. Some days your joy is all that you have, and if you allow them to take that then you will be left with nothing. So instead of that, just make your positivity stronger than their negativity. It will either rub off on them or stop them from rubbing off on you. Now I work in retail, and I know that everyone can't be in a great mood 100% of the time. Life is not a fairy tale, and things will upset us. However, if we choose not to dwell on negative things and not let uncontrollable circumstances get in the way of our positive mindset, then we are making a conscious decision to be happy. As a result, other people will see your light shine, and they will eventually follow suit.
