  Speaker 1: This whole week we've been thinking and talking about shining, and what a powerful way to go through the year and to begin shining as we move forward.

  Speaker 1: You know what's wild?

  Speaker 1: A diamond doesn't sparkle until it's cut, until it's polished.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Your inner light works the same way, my friend.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Every action you take, every difficulty you've been through, every experience you've been through, if you look at it from a specific angle or from a different angle, it's like you're being polished.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: You're that diamond and you know these events and things that work or don't work have a purpose in God's economy for shining you, to make you even brighter.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Here's something cool, something cool that I've noticed working with performers and everyday champions Clarity doesn't come from thinking about shining.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You don't shine because you think you're going to shine.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Now, that might be an important part, you do have to have the right mindset, but shining as a concept, it comes from actually doing the work to shine.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like when I was watching my mom clean the windows.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Now, technically I should have been helping her, but I learned the lesson anyway by not doing it.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I looked and I saw what was happening and I can now share this lesson.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: To shine and you have to clean things, you have to polish them.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: You don't know how much light you're going to be missing until you start wiping away what's blocking your shine.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, mom, I apologize for not always being the first to run and clean the windows, but hey, we have a lesson here.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: A diamond has to be polished, it has to be worked on.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: A window has to be wiped and cleaned so that the light can come in, and our lives are no different.
