On my run this morning in the dark, a car's headlights coming round the corner, on the unmade up road I was running on, lit up the trees and bushes along the side of the road showing me the beautiful oranges, yellows and reds of the autumn colours.
It made me think of the analogy of how someone in a good mood can light up a room, raising the whole energy of the room.
We all have the ability to shine a light on others or to dim their lights.
Acknowledging someone, encouraging them, showing them potential they didn't know they had, being a champion or supporter for them, or simply giving them our full attention are all ways in which we help shine a light on others and give them energy.
Conversely ignoring them, criticising them, pulling the rug from under their dreams, pointing out all their worst points will dim the light that's on them and will help drain their energy.
What can you today to shine a light on someone else to help them release their potential?
