Quote by Dwight L. Moody

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining- they just shine.

We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't

Summary

This quote speaks to the power of leading by example rather than constantly seeking recognition or validation for our accomplishments. It suggests that when we authentically let our light shine in whatever form that may be, it will naturally radiate and inspire others without the need for explicit self-promotion. The comparison to lighthouses reinforces the message by highlighting their silent commitment to illumination, showing how impactful actions can speak louder than mere words or attention-seeking tactics.
