Have you ever met those people who are genuinely kind, helpful and uplifting and who leave you feeling better, more optimistic and confident. These people seem to just emit light and goodness that is contagious to anyone in their proximity.
I aspire to be one of these people. I think I am quite a ways off but I was filled with hope of becoming a person of such stature as I was re-reading again the short book, As a Man Thinketh by James Allen and came across this passage,
A noble and God-like character is not a thing of favour or chance, but is the natural result of continued effort in right thinking, the effect of long-cherished association with God-like thought.
The best, kindest and Christlike people I know didn’t just wake up that way one day. Those people who emit goodness, love, light, they’ve all paid a price to be that kind of person. Probably through much introspection and practice in right thinking and action.
What this means is that I, and everyone, can become a person of high and holy stature through the application and effort of correct thinking and doing. It’s not a lottery and there is no scarcity of goodness to go around. One persons brilliance doesn’t deplete another’s ability to also ascend to that level.
God hasn’t reserved the ability to become like Jesus for a select or lucky few, or his favorites. It’s possible for each of his children to become brilliant, bright and full of light. And then to emit that light so that it makes the world and other people’s lives brighter.
“I want to live a happy, successful and fulfilling life, reach my potential and help others do the same.”
