This Little Light of Mine

I try to let mine shine.   Let it shine let it shine let it shine.

You should too.   But what are you shining it on?   We’re funny critters, often pointing out the worse parts about ourselves.   Seeing the bad qualities and focusing on our failures.  

“Positive anything is better than negative nothing.”  ~ Elbert Hubbard

Literally and figuratively if you look toward light the darkness will immediately be out of your vision.   Literally = your shadow, if you are looking at the brightest light your shadow is behind you and you cannot see it.   You know it’s there, but you cannot see it.   (I’m probably going to see Bill spinning around in his office later like a dog chasing his tail.)   Figuratively = when you focus on the positive things you don’t have time to shine light on the negatives, you are moving forward.   

In church you may hear it a little different.   Fill yourself with the Holy Spirit and the Devil can’t get in.    Same message, focus on the things you know to be good in everything that you do.   If you consume yourself with the good things the bad can’t get it there.


If you wanted you could drive your car in reverse all the way to work every day.   Would not be easy, but you could make it.    Seems incredibly stupid to do something like that but I’m sure if you think real hard you could think of someone who lives their entire live doing things backward.


Positive and negative are both directions.   And you can’t go in two directions at the same time.   So pick one.   The choice is yours.
