The other day a friend told me I looked happy...
Friend: 'Well, you look happier.'
My response: 'Do I??!!!' (Insert Angela looking
perplexed)
I could hear the surprise in my own voice. Me?! Happy?! As
if being happy was completely absurd. I'm not happy, I'm in pain. Yes,
paaaaaain. Look at me, give me a 'P'...give me an 'A'....give me a...
Wait. He's a mirror.
The truth is, the people around us are constantly
reflecting our light. Even during dark times. We often forget how to see
ourselves when hurt which is why those around us become our eyes. They offer
perspective, reflection and mostly, hope.
If others can see your happiness, even when it feels
buried, it means it still exists. You're shining through.
So take a moment to light someone's candle. Be a mirror. Because
mirrors create light and light creates truth.
-Namaste
