Instead of dimming our light to make others feel more comfortable, we could just continue to shine and foster the rise of the vibrations of those around us. Being Happy and Feeling Good does not mean you have no compassion for the misery of those around you. It simply means you wonβt dim your light to make them feel comfortable β instead, youβre going to help light the way. At first, your light may be a bit too bright for others and it may hurt their eyes, yet itβs far better to shine rather than to hide your light. When you hide your light for too long, it extinguishes and you slip right back into darknessβ¦unable to find your way until someone βshinyβ comes along to light your way and help you to find the light you still possess within, your Soulβs Magnificence.

That was the military.
