Allowing Your Soul To Shine
At times, we’ve all wanted to crawl under a rock and hide away from the
world. We may have preferred to be invisible rather than let other
people see us or notice that we exist. This desire not to be seen often
happens when we are feeling very hurt, angry, or simply weary of the
world. And while we may console ourselves with the defense that we are
shy, an introvert, or a loner, we may actually be hiding.
When we hide and make believe that we are invisible, we can think that
we no one sees us even though, truthfully, we are only really hiding
from ourselves. And while we may try to live life as inconspicuously as
possible, we only succeed in becoming more conspicuous because people
can’t help but notice that we are trying to hide our light. None of us
are meant to hide; each one of us radiates a unique brilliance that is
meant to illuminate the world. When we try to dim our light, we
diminish the natural radiance of the Universe, and we deprive the
people around us of the unique gifts and talents that we are here to
share.
Stepping out of the wings and letting your light shine is actually a
way to serve the planet. We each have a responsibility to contribute to
our community, and we do this when we let ourselves be seen. It doesn’t
do anyone any good when we try to hide. We are all beings of light and
we are here to light the way for each other. When we let ourselves
shine, we become a bright mirror that others can see their own
reflected brilliance through, and they can’t help but want to shine
also. Shine your light out into the world, bless those around you by
sharing your gifts, and watch the universe glow.
