Your own sunlight

It was very foggy and grey on my slightly longer 2-mile run this morning.

Being autumn, with all the remaining leaves on the trees and bushes still various hues of reds, oranges, yellows , browns and greens, it got me thinking about the difference it will make today, if the fog remains, in the way people will look at all the colours.

The truth is that in most cases they won't.

When the sun doesn't shine, casting its magical glow, we don't notice the glory that is still there, because the presentation isn't as dramatic.

One of my favourite inspirational quotes is David Hemery's, "There is a spark of greatness in everyone ".

The thing is, if that spark isn't recognised by the person who houses it, or by anyone else, it will be like those amazing autumn colours on a grey overcast cloudy day.

No one will give a second look.

But like the trees and bushes on a gloomy day, just because that sunlight isn't shining on them doesn't mean they don't contain the glorious colors.

What can you do to notice the spark of greatness in another, and fan that spark to turn on their own sunlight?
