This little Light of Thine…go ahead and let it SHINE!
For awhile now, I have ended every post with the phrase Shine On! It was on a whim that I began that phrase, not meaning any more than to hope you would feel uplifted and empowered by it. I realized today after helping a friend that there is more to it for me. In fact, the Universe is giving me signals these days for on Mother’s Day I was given a cd of music entitled, “Shine On.” So I thought I should write about what it means to me.
We are meant to Shine On, to embrace our light and to allow it to Shine On all with whom we come into contact. Surely there may be people, who like the planets which orbit our sun, who may turn away from our light. There may be those who can only experience our sun self’s warmth for small lengths of time. But who doesn’t rejoice in the warmth of sunshine? Who doesn’t feel the positivity in the sun’s radiance? Who doesn’t thrive and grow in the light of the sun?
Your powerful sun self warms the world around you. Your growth mixed with the growth of others, allows the Universe to expand its positivity and optimism. Hope extends like a halo around your goodness and love radiates in waves of light on all those with whom you connect, with whom you come into contact, with whom you touch. It is in this way that I caution you to not dim your light and I urge you to seize your power! You do no good in the world when you play small and lessen your power. When you do not own the power of positivity within you, when you do not share it, when you hide it away in the smallness of your world, you lessen yourself and others. You must enlighten yourself and the world around you in the way you are meant to which is to play big! What if our sun decided to just play small and not expand? Would there be as much growth here on Earth? Or would we all suffer because the sun didn’t want to shine as much as she could? What if in connecting on a larger more international scale we could help our seeds of light grow, expand and develop? Wouldn’t that be grand?!
Sure it requires a change of mindset to expand our sun self’s rays of light. It necessitates our stretching out of our comfort zones in order to shine brighter. It demands that we own the power within us and push forth into the world with our knowing and our innate love in order to connect with others. It demands that we are in touch with ourselves and with others in order to experience the light. One may even find that uncertainty and fear begin their rays of darkness when we decide to extend forward and to shine. That’s ok. It’s always darkest before dawn ~ and there is always dawn.
So the next time you read Shine On! please take the request to allow your light to
Shine On
and benefit the whole world with your unique love and light!
