Shine for meaning, not show

Heart

How’s the whole abundant radiance thing going from last InspoLetter?

First off today, me, I admire the sun’s confidence, it does its job. Steady.

I noticed whether I’m watching TV, I’m working, or out on a sunny hike, the sun doesn’t care. It could be giving full tilt joules, and I’m inside ignoring it.

One day I even pulled the curtains. I intentionally blocked all the sun, blocked the radiance, and the mighty joules. I didn’t want the sun, and put on sunglasses.

The sun didn’t care.

The sun does a really great job » at being the sun. Basic but powerful. Because sometimes I try to not be me. I try to be my friend: he’s loaded and funny >> 🤑 + 🤣 

Whether or not someone is capturing your sunlight on PV panels, pulling the drapes, or even straight blocking it » You Be You Friend.

Because the world needs who you were meant to be, so be it.

Mind

Friend if you are playing along at home, you’ll notice it’s been one week since we last connected on the InspoLetter.

Since then the sun has generated 2.3 hundred thousand trillion trillion joules. In today’s vernacular that’s YUGE‼️ 

Perspective:

• In just this past week, that’s enough energy to power all of humanity’s current energy needs for over 560 million years!

• Or enough juice to lift Mount Everest into space . . . billions of times over 🤯 

Yet with all that potential energy, we only captured a sliver of it huh?? Capture your joules.

Soul ⚡️ 

I like this quote by Victor Frankl, holocaust survivor, he had lots of difficult circumstances, yet he radiated so steady:

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread 🥖 

They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”

Body

I’ve been thinking: the Sun gives either way. Whether we soak it up or pull the blackout shades, it beams with consistency.

Nutrition can work like that too. Don’t eat well to look like someone else—you eat well to shine as you. To dial in your joules 😜 

It’s not about perfection. It’s about conversion: how well I turn what I take in into energy, presence, and power.

So today I’m choosing foods that help me radiate, not just sustain.
