You Have A Light. Let It Shine.
After re-reading my post on courage, I've decided to take it a step further.
I have decided not only to stand up for what I believe, but I have decided to become a shining example of my beliefs.
For many of us, "shining" may well mean to do what is right, to be a good example, and to keep it small and simple. But because the world is on a downward slide and the good team is in dire need of players, we need to step up to the plate. This will be harder for some than others for many reasons, but mainly because we are all so extremely different, with different weaknesses, strengths, talents, and insecurities. We will all have our different trials, but we are never given something we cannot handle.
Your thoughts are the key to unlocking your potential. All of what you can or cannot do is based on natural law and your thoughts. Think of your comfort zone as a fence surrounding an estate. Your estate. The rest of the surrounding world is yours for the taking, but there's one catch. You have to claim it by building a fence around the land you want. What does that mean? It means there's work to be done. Hard work. Don't beat yourself up over the idea of it. You'll end up hurting yourself more than any of the cuts or bruises the hard work may give you. You have the materials, and if you want help, there are plenty of friends just waiting for you to ask them.
Go out and do what you dream of doing. If there's something along the way that looks like a shortcut, but requires you to drop your standards, don't take the risk. The path is there. Even though at times we may feel lost, there is always a way to find that path. It's called "prayer" and there is no fee but humility.
So go out and show the world your light. There are many lights that need The Painter to help them shine. Why don't we help Him reach them by shining our lights as bright as we can in this dark?
Your friend, brother, mentor and student,
