At times, we've all wanted to
crawl under a rock and hide away from the world. We may have preferred to be
invisible rather than let other people see us or notice that we exist. This
desire not to be seen often happens when we are feeling very hurt, angry, or
simply weary of the world. And while we may console ourselves with the defense
that we are shy, an introvert, or a loner, we may actually be hiding.
When we hide and make believe that we are invisible, we can think that we no
one sees us even though, truthfully, we are only really hiding from ourselves.
And while we may try to live life as inconspicuously as possible, we only
succeed in becoming more conspicuous because people can't help but notice that
we are trying to hide our light. None of us are meant to hide; each one of us
radiates a unique brilliance that is meant to illuminate the world. When we try
to dim our light, we diminish the natural radiance of the Universe, and we
deprive the people around us of the unique gifts and talents that we are here
to share.
Stepping out of the wings and letting your light shine is actually a way to
serve the planet. We each have a responsibility to contribute to our community,
and we do this when we let ourselves be seen. It doesn't do anyone any good
when we try to hide. We are all beings of light and we are here to light
the way for each other. When we let ourselves shine, we become a bright mirror
that others can see their own reflected brilliance through, and they can't help
but want to shine also. Shine your light out into the world, bless those
around you by sharing your gifts, and watch the universe glow.
