Sharing our Inner Light

“Let people feel the weight of who you are.” What a powerful quote. How many of us hide who we truly are in order to not rock the boat. We down play our interactions, feelings, opinions and energy in order not to anger, overwhelm or most usually differentiate ourselves from those around us. Now this is not a blank check to tell everyone at all times everything that you think about them or your opinion on everything but it is a blank check to let your inner light show at all times.

Open conversations with unfamiliar people, share your ideas with people who might disagree or more importantly you know will disagree, learn the name of the cashier at the grocery store and ask her what she likes to do, etc. Be the person we all strive to be, a dynamic, energetic, loving, compassionate, opinionated, powerful being that will be who they are no matter the circumstance. That will enter a room, discussion, phone call with exuberance, energy and passion without fear of dissent. That is a heavy weight that many people will be fearful of but that cannot hinder us from sharing it with the world.

Spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson once said, “as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” We must let our inner confidence and light out to be shared with the world or we are impeding the growth of those around us. The great leaders are those that can inspire people by igniting the light in the souls of those they encounter. Start today by spreading the light of the great person you are with everyone you meet. See the difference, feel the difference, change the world.
