Why “Sparkle”, Why “Shine Like a Star”

This story is in fact about self-confidence and courage.

Both the stars up above in the sky, and the “famous” stars down here; we only notice them shining when we look at them.

No matter if big or small, what is important is to keep in mind that the sparkle was there, even when nobody was looking, or even at the very beginning of it all.
And the more we look at them, the more that sparkle intensifies, along with their self-confidence.

It is necessary to remember and believe in this also for our aspirations, that the shine always comes from courage and self-confidence… from never giving up….

That is why “Sparkle”, that is why “Shine Like a Star”...
