When I was growing up in the church and even now, there's an upbeat song that we do called 'This Little Light of Mine. I'm Gonna Let it Shine.' I was always encouraged by my parents and by the church to shine in my work AND play. It surely helps keep the attitude from deteriorating into a badttitude. Feel me?

When my brother and I were growing up in the 1970's, our father's favorite Earth, Wind and Fire song was 'Shining Star'. Remember that repetitive refrain at the end? 'Shining star for you to see what your life can truly be!' Yeah!
Here's Barack Obama's take on shining:
'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We a re all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make mani fest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.'

Wow! I couldn't have said it better myself, except to add Shine on People, Shine!
