While nightingales are nice enough looking birds. they are not the prettiest birds. there are birds far more beautiful, far more majestic, far more awe-inspiring. And yet, when nightingales sing. their song becomes them and they become truly beautiful to look at and to listen to and while it is true some do not hear the beauty of the nightingale's song, it is not because of the nightingale, but rather because those who don't hear, do not have ears to hear.
Some of us are like nightingales. We are not the prettiest women in the world or the most majestic or the most awe-inspiring. Some of us are overweight or just don't have great bodies and some of us are not the brightest or the sharpest. Often, when we look at our deficiencies, we become embarrassed and hide our light, afraid to call attention to ourselves. That is not how to live. We all have faults, but that is not where our focus should lay. We are all here for a reason. Each and everyone of us has a gift to share. Every one of us is filled with wonderful, positive attributes. When we focus on our strengths, we allow our soul to open up to the world. When we share our own special song, we let our light shine and that light fills us with such a glow; our beauty becomes resplendent and we fill the world with both beauty, grace, and light.
nightingales... people who keep their light hidden, need friends. friends remind us that we have strengths and talents. Friends see our strengths and talents. Friends support our abilities. Friends remind us that we are light and beauty. Friends help us turn our light back on when it goes out or starts to fade.
so for all you nightingales out there...
don't keep your light hidden. don't keep your song hidden. let your light shine!!! Sing out loud!!! and if you can't do it alone... enlist your friends to help! They will!!!
