“The sun cannot see its own brightness, only its light reflected back at it, see its brightness shining and touching others, see it light up others’ faces.”

Has anyone told you today how amazing you are? Well let me be the first.
You are amazing!
Really you are! I’d like you to think about all the things you have overcome this last year, the last few years especially with covid. I’m sure it wasn’t easy no matter what your circumstances. But you are amazing because you made it through.
You are an amazing human being. You don’t have to be perfect to be amazing and you don’t have to have it all figured out. Life can be messy and confusing and sad sometimes but it doesn’t make you any less amazing.
You’ve done nice things for other people. It’s awesome that you’ve been there when your family or friends have needed you and even more amazing when you have done things, even little things like a smile, for complete strangers.
You are an amazing addition to this world. You have unique gifts, strengths and a unique combination of weaknesses and foibles that you deal with and overcome on a daily basis and that makes you amazing as well.
You are amazing because your lungs breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon monoxide that the plants and trees need to turn back into oxygen for you.
You are amazing for a million different reasons that just have to do with how your body works and maintains its presence on the planet.
You are amazing for working hard and for simply remembering to take care of yourself every day and very possibly for keeping another living being alive at the same time.
You are amazing for being loving, kind, and thoughtful.
You are amazing for knowing stuff and doing neat things with what you know.
You are amazing for having a wonderful imagination and daydreaming about making life even better than it is already.
Do you see my point now? Are you starting to get a glimpse of how amazing you are? I hope so. I want you to know that I see your amazingness and hope you do too!
If you ever forget and need a reminder, reach out to me anytime and if it’s the middle of the night and you think “I can’t call anyone now” then I have a video recording for you right here if you need it.
“Having a divine perspective and hope helps me to know I am not alone.”
