This Week’s Quotation:

The test of heart and soul comes, of our courage to be true to ourselves, in many ways. This was a huge test in my life. It demanded that I think for myself—that I ponder deeply the ethics of a circumstance based on my highest values in the face of the mob psychology that had taken over. It demanded that I reach my own conclusions and then act on them. It required me to show up in my life as who I am —at the moment of crisis and in the days to come, regardless of the outcome. And in this case, it required grieving a loss as a result before a new opportunity came along.

Courage is a habit. When you discover that you can live your life being true to yourself, nothing else will do.

Courage to Pave the Way

Is there an opportunity for you to bring a higher way of being that would go against the turmoil in the world and bring attention to yourself—becoming the tall poppy and possibly being ridiculed? I see this as a shining opportunity to free oneself from the gravitational pull of the mob mentality and tread a new path, a new way of being.

Sometimes, I am eager to express a higher way of being, yet I know it won’t land. Instead, it will turn into a battle to defend myself, We’re right. You’re wrong. How dare you go against the stream! Showing up in life as who I am means showing up without regard to what is happening or how it will be perceived, and this treads a new path that others can follow if they choose.

My experience of doing this initially took a TON of courage, knowing that those around me may no longer resonate with our connection. Will I lose these connections? Well, I am here to say “Yes!” Yes, your relationships and how you relate to your world will change, and that is the opportunity. Those who resonate with this new path of being will be naturally attracted to you, and your world will shift and come into a new alignment in unimaginable ways. What a gift, eh?!

My invitation to you, dear reader, is to free yourself; in that, you will free those around you and the world around you. Let’s pave the way to a new world together!

What does it mean to become a sun?

Every human being is already a sun on the inside—a being of intense love and light. The difference is that some people have the vision and courage to become a sun on the outside. This difference is our human destiny.
