How Can You Share Your Spark with Others?

Light is meant to be shared. If you try to hoard it or keep it covered, out of everyone's sight, you'll just end up smothering it. Try to close it in your fist so it doesn't get away, and it burns you. You can't possess light. All you can do is appreciate it, use it and help others use it, too. In the same way, your life is also meant to be shared. Many people look upon their lives as something that must be jealously protected and stowed away. They block out others and are afraid to share their time. What happens? Their spark suffocates. But there are others who have an abundance mentality. They believe, correctly so, that there's plenty of life to go around, that all flames get brighter when we share them. They know that when we invest energy in others, we get even more in return. Don't sacrifice your chance at a bonfire because you're too busy trying to keep a tiny match from going out.

I'm not really good at it. I am not surrounded by great people, mostly just shallow, annoying, boring, or fakey people that I couldn't even try to enjoy them. When I am around my type of people, I can be really great.

I try to spread my spark, but I must admit, I try to "Protect it from the wind" there are some people who take the little light I share with them and throw it away. and others who keep it flowing, what should you do with those people who stamp it out though? keep giving until you have nothing to give in hope that they will eventually give some back? or spread your light further among those who contribute? maybe best would be to give more to those who contribute, and trickle down some of the overflow to people who stamp it?

I agree!Some just take advantage and never cares.Its better to give it to those who are really need it.

I sure will share the light with others. By doing that, I pray and believe tomorrow will be better.
