You Belong with the Stars! There are rules for everything. Don’t jump on the couch. A DOSE FROM DR. DAN

Don’t eat dessert first. Don’t ride a goldfish. Ok, some rules make sense. Some… not so much. But here’s a rule no one tells you: You get to decide how bright you shine. You don’t have to wait to be picked. And you don’t need a magic wand to be clicked. Is there something out there that makes you really happy? Maybe it’s a dream you’ve been keeping safe inside. Maybe it’s something special that takes your heart for a ride. Here’s the secret: Find your spark and hold it close. Next, add some hard work and see your shine grow.

With a little help and a little luck, your dream will start to lift you up.

Soon you won’t be able to hide your light. Your dream takes off like a rocket in flight. You choose how bright you shine in this world of ours, right up there, among the biggest stars. Editor’s note: Dr. Dan Molina is a physician, artist and advocate for mental and emotional well-being.
