be the star you want to be...

read this on a friends blog:

“When we see a star, we admire its glitter,
the twinkle catching our eye,
and all through our lives,
we only see the twinkle,
whenever we see the star.
we know but fail to see,
what all it takes to be a star
is an unending fire.
A fire that’s beneath the surface ,
the fire that made it the star it is.
and had we seen the star this way,
we might have woken up to the fact,
that the only thing separating us from being a star,
is the lack of fire within our hearts.
Ignite the fire within and you’ll be the star you want to be …”
