Shining Star, the Inspirer

So, what have a learnt today in my meditation and time away from the unruly noise around me? The importance of the message, the ability to inspire others to create change and impact others and how we tend to get so fixated on our own importance and role in inspiring and influencing others and the credit we get for sharing the gifts and messages we receive so freely.

I really want to focus on the negative mindset behind the ability to be recognised. We crave it and need it, with social media platforms like Instagram we are allowed to feed this desire for admiration and validation. The majority of us don’t use it as a tool to reach the masses but as a step stool for our own ego. We haven’t learnt how to silence the need inside to be validated so we feed it so we feel it may stay quiet. How did we forget that we are already so worthy and beautiful? With insecurity and isolation, we are sacrificed to the loneliness that hurts the most, but with a filter, we can filter our reality and create a place where we feel we can mask our true identity. We should be considering our own pain as a thing of beauty, to use as its own tool to healing deeper inside our hearts and minds. We can embody the virtue of the spider, weaving our own truth to share with others to help enlighten them, help them grow and break old ways and form a new future that is filled with light, love and hope.

In amongst eh confidence and interesting lives and talents people share are we really helping make a change in the world with them or do we use them so we can exalt our status or so we can use it as a tool to help others. Are we so broken we are fixated on our own darkness that we can find the light in us and share it with others? These are just some of the thoughts and questions that stood out in my daily meditation for this morning. That it is the message that is important not me the messenger. I am not the creator of my own gift but God is the creator who decided to give it to me freely, so I should do the same, share who I am with others. That being someone who has been through the darkness and comes out somehow with the light shining ever brighter. It is not my own success that I share but the ability to understand and that what I’ve been through is a gift to share from what I learnt.

We all have our own gifts and abilities to give into this world and instead of hiding them, disregarding them as relevant or already cutting ourselves down with premeditated thoughts of others negative responses, let’s just give. There were so many times I longed for an honest answer to one of my life’s difficult questions and no had the answer or no one had the guts to tell me the truth. I realise now it’s because they couldn’t even be honest and real with themselves about their own situation and life. So here we all are, together on one big beautiful planet we all can call home, maybe we should act more like a family than enemies and maybe the world would change for better. We can’t change the whole world but we can change our immediate self, our own situation and life and that if we all do this we do impact the space around us. We can change the world but only if we change our own selves, inside out.

I hope this encourages you to think about your own self, what you’re going through and how you feel. Begin to seek answers and dig a little deeper. You will find the healing you need and then comes the freedom. You will be comfortable for the first time in a long time, your cares and worries begin to dissipate into non-existence. You will begin to bear the light to shine into others lives and help them where they are at. You will begin to make a difference. It doesn’t need to be recognised by national television for it to be important, just by the person you pour into. Sometimes it’s the actions others can repay that mean the most, that when we take action that cannot be returned we’ve truly fulfilled the law of humanity, to love one another.

Let’s change our mindsets from ME to YOU and the only way to do that is to deal with ourselves first then we can use the strength we have to help others. I believe in all things good as irrational as that may seem, it keeps me flowing right and that flows into those around me. That’s better than a constant toxic person, right? Think about it. We all have the power to impact those around us just with a word or attitude. So choose wisely what energy you choose to manifest into being around you and into others.

I am the Wave

Today I was intentional with what I needed to meditate on, what was the one thing I was going to encourage myself with. As I closed my eyes, a clear voice in me said: “Become the wave.” There formed a picture in my mind of me standing in front of a giant wave. The wave had always represented something I was trying to resist, something I was fearful of because of how great it was and soon the picture changed from me face the wave to me turning my back to it and becoming embraced by it. It was a powerful image. I was no longer in fear of something so powerful but I was embracing myself, I was learning to stop trying to fight myself and resist my own greatness but instead, let it wash over me and embrace it.

Sometimes in quiet and stillness the truth is revealed and other times it’s just waiting for us to be open enough to listen and let it speak. I have resisted myself for a long time, another bad habit formed over years and years of being forcefully crushed in submission and broken into their order and that I might fit into someone else’s will. Yet here I am, as empowered as ever again by me. That the inner me knew it needed to never give up on the outer me. That two halves become a whole once again. Many times I got told to be quiet, many times I was scolded for telling the truth, many times the truth was pushed to be forgotten and every time I was made to feel wrong in every sense. That everything I was, was broken down, crushed and laid to waste by those who didn’t approve of my ability to keep being my authentic self. It didn’t sit well with them that I could face adversity as I did and still keep going, especially when they were the ones to cause me the greatest harm.

So you see, if you have those around you and it’s a constant fear to face giants, take a moment to seek the truth and it shall find you. It will tell you that, you, are in fact the giant, the victor, the glory holder and you are to not be intimidated or made fearful of anyone or anything.

Instead of feeling like you’re facing a giant, embrace the fact you are the giant. Change your mind, your perspective and understanding. You no longer face adversity but embrace it.
