As so rightly quoted by great American 🇺🇸 Poetess📝 ,Writer✍️🖋️ and Civil Right activist Dr.Maya Angelou ,’’If one has the courage , nothing can dim the light that comes from within .”
This quotation basically reflects /is a reflection of her own life as well; From where she started to reaching up to the fame house of such an incredible international level !
She was the second poet who recited her poem “ On the pulse of morning “ (1993) at the first inauguration of Bill Clinton after Robert Frost being the first to make an inaugural recitation at the time of John Franklin Kennedy;Being the President of the United States of America in (USA) 1961.
To me , this. quotation is lantern for life path .
It also may be expanded as ;’’True Strength lies within our selves !”
This quote basically expresses to the , dreams and personality that people have within themselves ; as in form of their inner aura which is the indication of their true potential to stand up to in life !!
Dreams are so personal and intrinsic, that they are embedded within us by our desires and need to be better in life .
Once taken charge of ensuring that one’s dream is fulfilled ; no one and nothing can stop us from doing that ! 🌼🌸🌼🌸
Our very own personalities are what differentiate us from the masses .
Each individual is different here and with his/her own uniqueness of personality.
Our happiness, or joy , our goal , our influence, or anguish is connected to the inner light we posses and that is our soul; connection of our personality to our soul , our inner light is so direct. Being Happy and doing your work , never goes out of style !👩🦱
As rightly quoted by Sir William Arthur Ward “HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB!”
Happiness in turn is one of the factors that enhance the inner light for sure !
How we express our selves determines how others will treat us !
So It becomes very much important for us to realise that “there are circumstances that can have a profound negative impact but they don’t define us or the light that comes fro within us .”
Certainly we have to be what we are !😌
As correctly quoted by Eleanor Roosevelt :-
“NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT.”
So , people should not stress much on being socially correct, socially acceptable all the time and not recognising their true potential .
Forgetting the factor that differentiate them from masses .
The essence of inner light 💡 should not be forgotten ever !
We should all explore our true potentials in life for achieving our dreams , our goals and aspirations in life .
Standing against all the odds of life ; is a virtue of victory itself .
However! being socially correct and being upto the mark for social standards is a much bigger burden on People than we think; it’s actually a source of many psychiatric disorder and psychiatric symptoms; psychological mishappenings such as depression and anxiety, etc .
Then it becomes really important to realise that ‘’Our personality is the light that shines within us .” Law of Displacement always work in one ‘s life !
As it is quoted by the great writer Leo Tolstoy
“LIGHT IN YOUR MIND IS TRUTH
LIGHT IN YOUR HEALTH IS KNOWLEDGE
LIGHT IN YOUR SOUL IS WISDOM
LIGHT IN YOUR LIFE IS GOD .”
It is our Sacred Responsibility to Rise and Shine in life .
One Should be very specific in recognising their own personality;their inner light 💡, so that they got to set their goals and aspirations in life ; accordingly and not run with the masses .
As quoted by Great ;Swami Vivekanand ji;
“ WE ARE WHAT OUR THOUGHTS HAVE MADE US;
So TAKE CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK.”
-swami Vivekanand .
Outer influence and societal pressure have great role to play in ‘’ demoralising “ people and that is a great irony to be mentioned,
; dictating them what to be and what to be not !
But during passage of the time it is important to realise that ; Defining one ‘s “Personality “and “Dreams” are in one ‘s hand ; and is one ‘s duty because these things are so intrinsic and personal , it should not be defined by any other external force but our inner self .
May be , this is the reason the word “personality “has personal in it and not social in it .
Personality, Influence , Goals and Aspirations are self made things .
Because Nevertheless,”The world around us has been just made to except , expect and expect !
Your happiness matters and not people’s opinions and expectations, do not do what doesn’t makes you happy !
No one is going to see the hard works and hardships that you put through but they will surely be adjusticating all your non- fulfilments.
Rather you should be focusing 🧘 🧘♀️ 🧘♂️ on your goals and should be serious about your well - doing in life .
As to quote Swami Vivekanand ji ;
“ ARISE! AWAKE ! AND DO NOT STOP,
UNTIL THREE GOAL IS REACHED!”
So , set your “ AIM” and “ GOALS “ higher ,and just try to your best abilities to reach there .
Be consistent ; Consistency is the key to success!
Provoke your self to be there , to the destination of your goals and aspirations.
Outer noise means nothing; your inner talk must be strong ! Enough!
;Be kind to your self !
“ THE HIGHEST MANIFESTATION OF STRENGTH IS TO KEEP OURSELVES CALM AND ON OUR FEET !”
-SWAMI VIVEKANAND Ji;
You must be aware of the essence
Of your inner light so that the true potential within can be explored.
for instance some can be good doctors , some can be good writers 📑, some can good at both , some can be good musician , while some can be good painter and some can be something else good .
You should be the one defining your carrier path , profession and your professional life .
At last but not least ;
Embrace your uniqueness and let it be a source of blooming brilliance for yourself and as well as for the society !
Let your personality blossom 🌸; letting the shine for all to see which could intern inspire the younger generations to come!
One more thing I would like to add to this essay of mine ; Love your self enough !
“Self love and Self preservation are the two important keys for enhancing your inner light and your self” !
As to quote a great poetess ; Dr. Maya Angelou
“I do not trust people ,who don’t love themselves and yet tell me “I love you”! ; There is an African saying which is : Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt .”
