Hold On To Your Light.

HOLD ON TO YOUR LIGHT.

Your goodness is not something to be switched on and off depending on how others behave.

The moment you allow that, you begin to lose a part of yourself that is rare and beautiful.

The way people treat you is a mirror of their own struggles, their own wounds, their own inner battles.
Their words and actions reveal their state of mind, not your own worth.

You are not defined by how poorly someone else behaves but how you choose to respond.

Be good not because people deserve it, but because you deserve to stay true to who you are.

So remain gentle in a harsh world. Remain patient when others are careless. Remain kind, even when it’s not returned.

And one day, the right people will recognize that light in you.

The light that refuses to dim, even in the face of darkness.

Hold on to that; it is one of the most powerful things you will ever possess.
