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.
Soft Steel
