I came across inspiring text online

"Imagine being a leader exiled to an island with only one other person. Now imagine that instead of shrinking under the wound of political isolation, you become stronger. Courage somehow thrives in this seclusion. Truth, honor and integrity build the foundation of a lighthouse that becomes a beacon of leadership. The love of country is the shining light inviting others to this island."

I found this as an intro to a current online article I was reading this morning. I found it very inspiring.

I thought I could apply it to my own life, too. In my case, "political isolation" would be just "isolation". But maybe, if I continue to conduct myself with pretty good integrity, and keep building on that with bigger and more meaningful challenges, then my actions can become a beacon to self and others, and shine out to myself and to the environment around me.

Anyway, I thought these are worthwhile thoughts. I thought, applying these thoughts would be a resaonable and worthwhile way to [become able to] turn something [good] outwards, rather than only turning myself inwards.

I wonder if you like the thoughts that I stumbled upon, too.
