December 9, 2024: Let Your Light Shine!
“The freedom to be yourself is a gift only you can give yourself...” - Doe Zantamata
Listen to this daily meditation on audio:
This is a wake up call for all of us!
Continuing to do something that we know is not good for us says a lot about us. It says a lot about our level of maturity, a lot about our level of self discipline. It also speaks to how much responsibility we take for what happens to us in life. Over eating, over drinking, over sexing and underachieving are all symptoms that say we have not yet decided to walk our own path through life. We are still blindly following the crowd's behavior so as not to be considered 'different'. We don't want to stand out as individuals who can think on their own and make their own decisions. I would be willing to bet that some of the most interesting people you know don't just go along to get along. They are probably people who celebrate their uniqueness; who refuse to conform to the cookie cutter mold set by our society. It's curious that these are the ones we admire and respect. At some point, each one of us by simply deciding to, could become one of those interesting people; celebrating who we are rather than who the crowd wants us to be. Each one of us has a light that is uniquely us. If only we were brave enough to let it shine! Our world is greatly diminished because far too many of us are afraid to strive for those dreams buried deep within our hearts. Far better it is to be a genuine copy of who you are, than a cheap copy of someone else.
LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!
