The world says “Let Your Light Shine”

Yet how much of the world truly wants to allow you to shine your light?

How many agree when you believe you have something to bring forth that will make a difference, most people are  not there shouting along with you? 

How many people stand behind you to support you on that  journey you envision?  And how many choose fear and doubt over your reflection of whom you can be or  your idea over what you can create?

Who represents the world anyway?

The status quo never wants to pull away.  Change is not becoming to those who do not want to do the work it takes to make change happen.  It is easier to be complacent and to accept,complaining about what is not right,  than take ownership and responsibility for the results we’ve helped to create.

It is much easier to talk about something, than to do something about it.

Many people like to standby on the sides of the game and judge the players in the ring.  Those who point the finger usually rely on the movements of others to create a self-projected podium from which to judge, accuse, belittle and ridicule those who are attempting to create and make a change, or at least to believe in themselves and their own unique light.

The world does not teach us to let our light shine.  The world teaches us how to be fearful.  It teaches us how to avoid failure by not even given it a go.  It teaches us to doubt our first-beginnings.  It teaches us to fear consequences and results because we tried something and it did not exactly turn out the way we wanted it to. 

The world does not teach one how to model, or to shift paradigms, to recreate meaning and to learn about filters we ourselves use, to create beliefs and values about the world around us.

Fortunately for many, we live in a New Age.  While this word tends to make some squirm simply because they’ve attached meaning and symbolism to it, the fact is we are in the information era where we now have access to an universe-filled with information to learn, to grow, to advance and to evolve.

What I most remark in this New Age is that indeed we must “Let Our Light Shine.”  The world depends on us to uncover our gifts, our specialties, and the potential God has equipped us with.  And we must insist on ourselves to persevere, overcome, redirect and continue on striving toward seeing our true selves revealed…no matter what!!!

Only we bring that special gift we’re here to manifest.  And we must first believe in ourselves before we can expect the world to believe in us.

In the words of  one Howard Aiken; the inventor of the Mark I computer  (1944); - ”Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas.  If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.”

“Let YOUR Light Shine” and believe in the world you carry in your own head.
