your daily rock : shine

April 1, 2013 in Daily Rock, General

“Some of these kids just don’t plain know how good they are: how smart and how much they have to say. You can tell them. You can shine that light on them, one human interaction at a time.” -Dave Eggers

Sometimes when we hear the word “shine,” we think of shining our own light. And that’s cool. But I really like Dave Eggers’ take on it: let’s shine light on others so they will know they, too, can shine.

Who can you shine a light on today, one human interaction at a time?

Love,
