3. Perspective
It is often difficult to see yourself clearly,
because you are blinded by your own
judgements and beliefs. Looking at yourself
from a different perspective can be helpful
to see your truth. Connect to your higher
power, the divine, angels, whatever you
believe in outside of yourself. Ask to see
yourself through the eyes of your higher
power. How do they see you? Look at each
of the beliefs you have held, ask your higher
power to show you the truth of this belief. The
answers may come in different ways, maybe
a vision, a word in your mind, a feeling, or a
knowing of what is true. And the answer may
come to you later as you go about your day.
Trust whatever comes to you.
4. Choice.
Make a conscious choice to embrace your
light and your gifts and to share them with
others. There is a Cherokee story that says
we each have two wolves battling within us,
a dark one and a light one. Which one will
win? The one that you feed. Are you feeding
the fear and shame, or are you feeding
love, compassion, and goodness? Make a
choice to feed your light by cultivating self-
love. Choose to only speak positively about
yourself, even when talking to yourself. Treat
yourself as your best friend. As you feed the
light, it continues to grow and brighten.
5. Recognize and Embrace
Your Gifts
Be honest with yourself about what your gifts
really are. Don’t downplay them or dismiss
them. What are you good at? What are your
best qualities? What makes you light up
when you do it or even talk about it? What
brings you joy? Make a list of all these and
find ways to incorporate it in your life.
As Marianne Williamson said, “Your playing
small doesn’t serve the world. There’s
nothing enlightening about shrinking so
others won’t feel insecure around you. As
you let your light shine, you indirectly give
others permission to do the same.”
Let it shine,
let it shine,
let it shine!
