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.
