SHINE

SPARKLE

by

TODAY OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD IS SPARKLE.  WHEN WE THINK OF SPARKLE, WE OFTEN THINK OF BLING.  WE THINK ABOUT SOMETHING BRIGHT AND SHINY HOWEVER, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT CAN ALSO SPARKLE.   

I LOOK AT SPARKLE AS THE SHINE ONE HAS WHEN INTERACTING WITH OTHERS.  HAVE YOU EVER MET SOMEONE THAT HAS “SPARKLE” AS PART OF THEIR PERSONALITY?  THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THEM THAT DRAWS YOU TO THEM.  THEY HAVE WHAT I REFER TO AS THE PERSONALITY OF ONE WHO SPARKLES OR SHINES.  IT TAKES MORE THAN CHARISMA TO SPARKLE. 

I BELIEVE WHEN WE HAVE CHARISMA WE HAVE A PERSONALITY THAT IS MAGNETIC.  I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE HAVE SPARKLE, OUR SOUL SHINES.  SPARKLE, AS I CALL IT, COMES WHEN YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOURSELF.  IT IS SOMETHING WE OFTEN AREN’T AWARE OF, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE AREN’T TRULY HAPPY.  WHEN WE SEE THOSE THAT SPARKLE, THEY ARE NOT JUST HAPPY IN THE MOMENT.  THEY ARE HAPPY DESPITE UPS AND DOWNS.  TRUE HAPPINESS SHINES LIKE A BEACON IN THE NIGHT, LIGHTING A PATH FOR OTHERS, SHINING  FROM THEIR BEING.   THIS IS THE DEFINITION I THINK OF WHEN ONE SPARKLES.  THEIR HAPPINESS SHINES FROM WITHIN.  THERE IS PROBABLY ONE TO TWO PEOPLE I HAVE MET OVER A LIFETIME THAT TRULY SHINES OR SPARKLES.   

THEY ARE THE ONES, DESPITE A RAINY DAY AND DREARY CLOUDS, WHO ARE HAPPY.  FOR THEM, THERE ARE NO BAD DAYS.  THERE ARE DAYS HOWEVER, THAT ARE FILLED WITH BAD EVENTS, BUT THAT IS WHEN ONE WHO HAS SPARKLE SHINES THE MOST.  THEY REACH OUT TO HELP OTHERS AND IT IS WITH THAT SPARKLE, THEY CAN HELP OTHERS WHEN THE DARKEST OF DAYS DAWN AS WE CONTINUE TO SEE IN THE PANDEMIC. 

THERE ARE SIMPLY THOSE THAT HAVE THE ABILITY TO STAY GROUNDED WITH GREAT DISPOSITION DESPITE WHAT GOES ON AROUND THEM.  THESE ARE THE INDIVIDUALS THAT TRULY SHINE.  THEY ARE THE ETERNAL OPTIMISTS FROM THE SOUL AND WILL ALWAYS “SPARKLE” DESPITE CIRCUMSTANCES, LIFE EVENTS OR TRAGEDY.  DO THEY EXPERIENCE SADNESS WE MAY ASK?  YES, BUT IT IS IN THEIR PERCEPTION WHAT MAKES THEM DIFFERENT.  THEY SHINE EVEN WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES.  THEY HAVE THE STRANGE QUALITY OF SEEING THE HOPE IN WHAT APPEARS AS A HOPELESS SITUATION.  THEY CAN LITERALLY LIGHT ANOTHER’S INTERNAL CANDLE BY HELPING THEM SEE LIGHT IN THE DARKEST OF DAYS.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING TODAY.

PICTURE AND SUN

by
Picture of the sun

It just occurred to me that Friday’s Picture Poetry Prompt was about the firmament: sun and moon. That’s not all. Monday’s Picture Poetry Prompt was also about this this same firmament. If you ask me, I will boldly say that this, is no coincidence. I say this because coincidence is not a word in my dictionary- I don’t believe in coincidence.

For most of you who read and follow the writing exercises on Daily Wisdom Words Picture Poetry and Music Prompt, you may have observed that I write what, when and how I feel. Have you noticed that? Well, that’s by the way.

Writers all over the globe possess various muse but something is rather too similar or should I say peculiar to writers: we cherish and admire nature. Do you have such a feel as a writer? It may not be nature for you. It may be something different.

Welcome to Daily Wisdom Words Picture Poetry Prompt. Here, we take a look at a picture- something beautiful and artistic enough for a write – and compose a poem inspired by the picture with words in title. It’s that simple.

How is it going to improve my writing skills? Listen to Robert’s testimony on YouTube.

Picture and sun. Those are the words. Can you compose a poem with it? Give it a try on Daily Wisdom Words. My name is Abuh Monday Eneojo. I will be your host. All thanks to Donna Marie for providing this picture.

STARS

by

WHY DID I PICK THE WORD, STARS FOR OUR DAILY WISDOM WORD TODAY? I PICKED THE WORD STARS FOR ITS TWO MEANINGS, BOTH OF WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT.  LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE DEFINITION OF STARS. 

WEBSTER DEFINITION OF STARS-1.  A FIXED LUMINOUS POINT IN THE NIGHT SKY WHICH IS A LARGE, REMOTE INCANDESCENT BODY LIKE THE SUN.  2.  A STAR SYMBOL USED TO INDICATE A CATEGORY OF EXCELLENCE.  

DAILY WISDOM WORDS DEFINITION OF STARS-INDIVIDUAL DIAMONDS IN THE SKY.  SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THERE IS A STAR FOR EVERY SOUL ON THIS PLANET.  2.  STARS ARE A MARK OF EXCELLENCE OR WHO WE CALL SOMEONE WHO IS ELITE AT WHAT THEY DO.  

STARS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME.  I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THERE IS A STAR IN THE SKY FOR EACH OF US, AND A STAR INSIDE EVERY ONE OF US.  WE ARE ALL STARS IN OUR OWN SPECIAL WAY.  FOR EXAMPLE, YOU SEE SOMEONE LIKE JOHN ELWAY AS A QUARTERBACK FOR THE DENVER BRONCOS BEFORE HE RETIRED.  HE IS A STAR IN HIS OWN RIGHT.  

YOU, ALSO ARE A STAR IN YOUR OWN RIGHT.  PERHAPS ITS NOT THE KIND OF STAR THAT IS ADVERTISED LIKE AN EXCEPTIONAL SPORTS PLAYER.  SOMEHOW, YOU ARE A STAR.  YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT SHINES WITHIN YOU.  YOUR A BEAUTIFUL, EXCEPTIONAL PERSON IN YOUR OWN RIGHT, AND A STAR IS MARKED FOR YOU JUST LIKE THE STAR MARKED FOR JOHN ELWAY.  

SOMETHING WITHIN YOU, MAKES YOU EXCEPTIONAL.  SOMETIMES ITS THE PURPOSE YOU SERVE IN LIFE.  PERHAPS ITS YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR, OR THE WAY YOU INTERACT WITH OTHERS.  AGAIN, YOU ARE A STAR IN YOUR OWN RIGHT, AND I WANT EACH OF YOU WHO IS READING THIS TO ASK YOURSELF, WHAT YOUR STAR IN THE SKY REPRESENTS.  IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE REALIZE WE ARE SPECIAL, BUT OTHERS ARE AS WELL IN THEIR OWN WAY.  NONE OF US ARE ANY BETTER THAN ANOTHER, AND EACH OF US SHINE.  IF WE CAN RECOGNIZE WHAT MAKES ANOTHER PERSON A STAR, THAT IS AN EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY IN ITSELF.  

EACH STAR IN THE DARK MIDNIGHT BLUE SKY GOD NAMES AFTER ONE OF US, I BELIEVE.  THERE ARE JUST AS MANY STARS AS THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THIS PLANET.  THERE IS ONLY ONE MOON AND THAT IN ITSELF MAKES THE MOON SPECIAL AND BEAUTIFUL.  NEXT TIME YOU LOOK AT THE SKY ON A CLEAR, MIDNIGHT BLUE SKY, REMEMBER THERE IS ONE UP THERE TWINKLING JUST FOR YOU.  WE ARE ALL STARS AND PART OF LIVING ON THIS PLANET IS FIGURING OUT WHO WE ARE AND WHAT MAKES US SHINE.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING THIS POST ON STARS TODAY.  INTERESTING HOW THE TWO DEFINITIONS OF A STAR INTERTWINE ONE ANOTHER.
