Shine My Friend Shine!


The reading in todays Seasons of change was perfect. We all have a light within that requires our acceptance of it and allow it to shine for the world to see. Now, that being said will everyone notice? No! The fact of the matter is the light within is really for you anyway. When others see our lights it frees them to shine their light. Have you ever noticed that when you see one star you instantly see others? I will take this moment to remind you that what ever you see in nature you have within you now. When you notice a star, it is because you have within you the same light to illumine the unknown not only in your life but the lives of others.  

Day 47: Star, there are many times that I do not recognize my own brilliance or the magnitude of the impact that I have on others. There are times when I feel that my light is dim, when in fact it is a monumental source of light and love, not only in my life but in the lives of others. I am also told that no matter how monumental my light might be some will only see it as a flicker in the evening sky. The miracle of today is that other people's perception of my life only has an impact on my world when I allow it period

Over the last few days, I've been taking an inward journey. In life, the answers that we're seeking can only be found inside. I have spent a great deal of my life looking for answers outside of myself. I am an external processor which simply means that I process by communicating with others. The growth in my life today is because I can ask someone to listen without the need for response. The deeper I know myself and how I work the more equipped I am to shine my light not only for myself but for those around me.

Over the last month, I questioned my impact on the world. Yes, we do all have those days! The difference between my past and my present is simple. I knew the answers I was seeking would be discovered within. It is interesting when we take things inside our soul, our essence the answer comes from everywhere. As I went into deep contemplation, it has become extremely clear to me how beautifully brilliant my light is. The interesting thing is no matter how many times others tell me my light is brilliant and beautiful. It is up to me to know this truth for myself.

One of the things I am asked most often is how did I dare to do the work that I'm doing today? The short answer is it has been a process. I took a great many roads to avoid the path that was mine for the longest time. If become clear to me some years ago that it was time for me to journey down my path regardless of the outcome. It was that moment that my life truly began to bloom. I was sometimes fearful. Yet took the next step anyway. In the beginning, it was just myself my beloved and a few friends. Then the more that I stood in my truth and loved as only I can the universe opens and brought like-minded individuals to me. So often, in life I think it is my responsibility to make things happen. When in fact it is my responsibility to shine the light of love everywhere I go, knowing that everything I need is seeking me.

What are you doing today to avoid your destiny? What clouds are you hiding behind afraid to show your brilliance? What limited version of yourself are you displaying so that those around you will not be threatened by your magnificence? It is time for you to shine like a brilliant star you are and illumine your life from within. You are magnificent, and the world needs more of that. Shine
my friend, shine!

I love you,

Rev Allen
