I was more than a little shocked at one point when I realized that I was afraid to let my inner light shine. I really wasn’t even aware that I had this fear, but once I became aware of it, I also began to see how upside-down our thinking often is with regards to this.
It can seem like playing small is humility, but it’s actually the exact opposite; humility allows the immeasurable light within to shine forth. This light isn’t something we made; it has nothing to do with anything we’ve done or not done. We actually have nothing personally to do with it BECAUSE it’s not anything we created. To take personal credit for it would be like a computer, designed to compute, taking credit for its computer skills. Kinda silly. That same computer can’t really be or do anything different than what it was created to do. The best it might do is attempt to deny what it is, but even this can’t change what it actually is.
The beautiful thing is that when we open the way for this light to shine forth, we stand as a beaming testament to others as well, for the light that resides within me is your light too. When you see my light, you are seeing your own, and when I see yours, I am seeing mine.
It became clear that this journey we call life isn’t about making ourselves into anything; That has already been established and is beautiful beyond comprehension. Instead, it’s being willing to let all we never were fall away so that what we have always been can shine!
We are like the Sun–no matter how dark the clouds or how long they’ve been there, our light has never dimmed.
That was so inspirational! Covid has temporarily taken away so many lights. It really is time to remember to Shine through every situation. 🌞
