SHINE BRIGHT LIKE DIAMOND

The diamond’s shine is spectacular and difficult to dull. This rare gem stone has characteristics that separates it from others. The creator is magnanimous enough to make everything unique in its own way. The diamond is in a class of its own. The are 4 distinguishable highlights that singles out this precious stone in the midst of other equally fine stones. These characteristics are referred to as the 4 Cs. Those in the minerals and mining sector will catch my drift faster. The diamond has Clarity, Cut, Carat and Colour. All of these attributes combined make this stone tick. The diamond is priced based on this combination. No one can take away from it.

I liken you to diamonds. It is said that every diamond is born with its birthmarks engraved in it by pressure or heat as it is formed within the earth. As an individual you are just like that. You are unique with your blemish, tones, curves, the eyeballs you consider not so perfect, the lips you see as too thin, the scar from your surgery… You name it! Those things make you stand out. You should possess clarity of whom you are to fulfil purpose. Having clarity of who you are creates a pedestal for you to build blocks towards self-actualization. When you are clear regarding who you are there is need to fashion out your shape. Know who you are. Know the degree of your flaws and how to deal with them and underplay them for the best part of you to shine. Identify your ‘birthmarks’, blemishes, strength, weakness. All of that make you YOU. Embrace your individuality. This is your ‘cut’.

The ‘cut’ of the diamond is considered the most important characteristic of all 4. You should never compromise on your ‘cut’. It determines how much light shines through you. You are finely shaped by the hands of God for light to shine through you. This light in turn is expected to reflect back into the world. How much light you allow to come into you from the abundance provided by nature is in your hands. Take in as much light as you can to banish darkness from within you. The world needs you to reflect a more brilliant equivalent of your intake to further brighten it up.

Your colour is your taste. Your principles, standards and tones of acceptance, tolerance and accommodation. How colourful you are underlines things like what you accept others do to you, what things you hold sacred. Your colour attracts people to you. The more colourful you are, the rarer you are, the better the quality of people attracted to you. Brighten your colour. Improve your colour with positivity. Draw out the hues deep inside you to bless the world.

Carat is another distinguishing element of diamonds. It refers to the weight in comparison to the cut of a diamond unit. Because you are a diamond, what is your weight? Your carat can be likened to your tenacity. You should identify and take advantage of your tenacity. Be a formidable force. A force to reckon with in whatever you do. Stand for whatever you believe. You should, henceforth, be confident in your conviction on any matter because diamonds’ carat determines the price.

Evaluate your 4Cs. These will determine how you are priced by others. Through sincere evaluation, YOU will discover that you are premium thus worth the price you name.

It is a case of “diamonds and the others”

Let no one dull your shine. As you take up space in this beautiful world shine bright without reservations. That you are female should not make you apologetic of expressing yourself. Be unapologetic as you shine your light. Expressing your personality is a giving as a human. You have a personality for a reason. For that reason to be fulfilled your unique body of temperaments, attitude, fits, fears, generosity, care, tenderness, candidness, perspectives and all have to be set free in the most positive manner.

Display your light in the open. Who lights a lamp and keeps it under the table! Not you dear friend. Shine! You do not have to deem your light for that of others to shine. More light, more illumination.

You must know that diamonds are forever. Right? They are indestructible as well. Keep lighting up the world because YOU can.

Cheers.
