Do not be misled by someone else's fireworks. How to nurture the 'spark within you' by believing in the sparkler in your hand | Life Theory | Writer | Self-Improvement | Mental Care | Creative Philosophy |

There is no need to envy the way someone else's fireworks scorch the night sky so flashily.

Handheld fireworks that burn intensely all at once certainly have momentum and are beautiful. However, that ephemeral brilliance burns out and ends in the blink of an eye.

Life, and note, are the same. If you rush, the spark will fall clumsily and vanish like a dream. If you compare yourself to others and let your hand tremble because your eyes are stolen by someone else's light, the scenery that was supposed to be born from that moment will never be seen again.

Gently, and patiently, nurture your spark like a sparkler. It might be an unreliable light at first. But the time you spend holding your breath and watching over that small heat so it doesn't go out creates depth as a writer, and as a human being.

If you endure patiently, the spark ball will grow large and profound. I love that 'weight.' Because the heat of the gunpowder transmitted to my fingertips is far more reliable than shallow success.

Even if those around you are running past at breakneck speed, keep lighting your own fire.

And savor the silence of that moment as it scatters. Even if you think it's over, the lingering resonance that continues to shimmer beyond that point is the certain proof of what you have built up.

Do not be misled by someone else's fireworks. Believe in that small spark, like the sparkler you have cherished in your hand.

Hey, what is the 'spark' you are nurturing right now without showing anyone? It doesn't have to be flashy; won't you tell me just a little about that light that is surely within you?

That light will surely leave a quiet but inextinguishable heat in someone's night sky.
