“Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.” (Maya Angelou)

I do not know who else (besides myself) needs to hear this reminder today, but here it goes:

There is no other source of force and stability as powerful as the one found and built within yourself.

Nothing and nobody can interfere with your inner light.

Nothing and nobody can interfere with your inner light, unless you give permission to do so.
Nothing and nobody can interfere with your inner light, unless you give away your power.

Protect Your Inner Light

Be wise, hold and protect that inner light of yours — your sense of self, your inner wisdom and knowing, your sense of meaning and purpose, your dreams. Hold and protect all of this. Hold and protect that light at all times.

And make that light grow. Make that light shine even brighter!

Expand Your Inner Power

How can you expand your inner power?

  • Accept and surrendering to bring more mindfulness into your life
  • Stick to your values, while being open-minded with compassion towards others
  • Follow your heart and listening to your intuition
