Gloomy days in Chicago, this could be the weather report for the month of January. What is a gloomy day? Cold, grey, maybe some snow, maybe some drizzle, dark and little sunshine. Outside, each day looks similar to the last, day after day. I caught myself describing the weather “accurately” as gloomy. People around me, knew what I meant. If you’re experiencing gloomy days, you would too.
But then I ask myself, what is the weather anyway? What is the relevance to my life that it’s dark outside? After all, how much will I let my enviroment influence me? How much will I influence my enviroment? I’d like to think that I influence my enviroment lots more than it influences me.
No, I don’t mean that I’ll be changing the weather patterns today. Though, that’s not so far off with some group intention work. But, I’ll save group intentions for another day. What I mean is that regardless of the weather, I will allow my dreams and my intentions to shine. I may stumble and focus on gray skies for a few days. Then, I’ll take that stumble as a wake up call, a reminder that it’s not always sunny and perfect outside. Our lives may also not always shine exactly as we like. But, we always have the power to make our own day brighter.
Try making your day brighter. Think of one way to bring yourself closer to what you desire, or simply one way to move to a happier place. Think for a moment. Feel what’s in your heart for a moment. Something brighter will come to you if you allow it in.
And, while your at it, think about one way you can brighter someone else’s day. For when you do that, you will doubly brighten yours. Here’s to internal, eternal sunshine to you.
