I wrote the two lines above tonight because these words have been circling my mind more and more with each day that passes. I feel the truth in them, and I sense them pushing me forward. They tell me to get out of my own way. To get out of my own shadow. To shine. The words are for me, and they are for you.
My challenge continues to evolve in ways I could have never predicted. The tech turn off element is very much in effect and is extremely important, but this challenge is really about recognizing my priorities on all levels of my life. It is about becoming my highest potential self by allowing me to embrace my authenticity. It is about remembering who I really am and helping others rediscover their light as well. I am being flooded with signs and revelations. Undoubtedly they were always there, but I needed to open my eyes once more to be able to see them.
During this evening’s challenge, I unplugged for several hours to listen to a speaker discuss the topic of knowing your value and acting on it. He talked about recognizing your priorities and gaining positive momentum as you allow your authentic self to take the lead. For obvious reasons, my ears always perk up whenever I hear the word momentum, but the entire lecture could have been written in response to my unspoken fears and uncertainties. His words challenged me yet again to reevaluate what I was putting first. They reinforced the importance of honoring my own value and becoming who I am meant to be.
We cannot expect others to see our beauty if we refuse to see it in ourselves. It’s time to leave the shadow. It’s time to shine.
