Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Exhale.

Pick a colour 🔴 🟠 🟡 🟢 🔵 🟣

Find the moment below with that same colour, then go to the closing moment at the end.

🔴 Take a moment to learn the basic definition of the word brilliance:

  1. intense brightness of light
  2. exceptional talent or intelligence

Who or what first comes to mind when you read each one?

🟠 Take a moment to think about three inventions you would consider most brilliant.

🟡 Take a moment to contemplate a quote by British researcher and management theorist, Meredith Belbin: “Do you want a collection of brilliant minds or a brilliant collection of minds?” What do you think he meant by this?

🟢 Take a moment to learn how a diamond’s brilliance is determined. Brilliance refers to the amount of white light a diamond reflects back to your eyes, creating its visible sparkle. The precision of the diamond’s cut has the greatest influence on its brilliance, as it determines how effectively light is reflected within the stone. Among the many shapes, the round brilliant cut is generally considered to produce the most sparkle. Using specialised instruments, gemological laboratories can measure a diamond’s light performance to assess its overall brilliance.

🔵 Take a moment to ponder what brilliance in a person means to you. What qualities might they possess? And what about your own brilliance – that special something within you that shines like no one else?

🟣 Take a moment to take a breath of brilliance. First, think of a colour that represents brilliance to you. Next, sit up tall, relax your shoulders, and let your tongue drop from the roof of your mouth. As you inhale, imagine breathing in that brilliant colour, letting it fill every little corner within you. Hold the breath for a moment.
Now, as you exhale, imagine sending that brilliance and light to all who need it. See its radiance travel across the miles to all the people who come to mind. Repeat this any time you’re feeling sluggish or heavy.

A closing moment to take another deep breath together. Hold it, feel it, and gently exhale. The adjective of brilliance is brilliant. We are surrounded by brilliance and many brilliant things every day. Take time this week to look for the brilliance not only around you, but within you as well. You carry your own kind of light – unique, powerful, and capable of inspiring brilliance in others. ✨
