Shine bright

It's really incredible how consistent the messages from the universe which I have been blessed to receive have been, encouraging me to be myself, fully. I have always revealed myself in pieces, with intervals of stepping back in order to tow the party line and feel "a part of", but more and more I can see now that it's not only safe to be completely honest, but also that it is of service to others. 

And today I want to be of service. It's not like how it used to be, that I could only be helpful on the upswing: I can now be of service even when I feel like my world is crashing down. And yes, despite my rebirth, I can still get overwhelmed. The difference now is that I no longer let it cripple me, or turn me into a mope. I remain confident that good will prevail.

I need now focus only on the direction that I want to travel in, and not be distracted by intimidation. In sharing my journey, I help others, because I am helping myself. It was suggested the other week in a discussion online which I was participating in, that when we work to serve others, we are really helping the higher self within. I have been contemplating this, and now believe it to be true. When I write I do it for me, and then with the intention of encouraging others, I share it publically, without bias. If I inspire someone, great, and it will inevitably happen, because people motivate others just by sharing their passions. Ultimately though, my actions are for my own well-being and fulfillment. 

"Speak your truth". I have heard this for a while, and it's not just in the new age circles, it's on prime time television, but I have never known what it means. Now I know it means be authentic, and practice what you believe. 2018 has been said to be a coming of age for many people, where we have completed our transformation, and come into a light where we are nourished. Then we go out into the world and with courage inspire others.

I am in a time of transition and acceptance, but also of gratitude for the path that I have travelled, the ability to look back and ahead and see threads tied together in the present. I have a new trust in God, or maybe better put, a trust in God that is firm, for the first time. Healing and growth don't just happen through determination and will power, they happen by being absolutely fearless. 

It is only when we are not afraid of the future, or of pursuing our talents, that we become a light to others: where we shine so brightly, we are unstoppable. The right people are placed in our path, and foes don't get too close. The universe continues to inspire, and in service, so do we. Passions are ignited, and in the pursuit of our interests we trim our lamps, and show others the way, by way of our solid convictions.
