Do This 1 Thing & Improve Your Life Dramatically!
Simple Tips for Modern Living, #6
Don’t Hide Your Light!
My Grandma used to say, “Honey, don’t hide your light under a bushel”.
It’s some of the best advice I ever got, and for a bunch of years I forgot about it.
I got caught up in life… LIFE!
There was the corporate consulting job that took more mental capacity each day than I thought I had, the university teaching gig as an adjunct, that paid a pittance, offered me zero benefits and gave me a ton of stuff I loved to teach.
There was the marriage and the puppy to train, and moving, and buying and selling homes, and the divorce and figuring life out…
There was starting my own coaching business and stepping into fully owning the healing work I also offer my clients.
It was easy to lose track of Grammy’s saying about my light and a bushel.
Do This One Thing Now!
Shine!
Let yourself BE yourself.
Whatever doubts you have about who or how or why you are…
We all have those same doubts.
When you let yourself live fully in the world, when you stop hiding out, you also encourage others to do the same.
By living completely as your SELF, you model the best of how to be a human.
Don’t allow the fear of what you think are your faults, keep you from shining your abilities and strengths into the world. Our “cracks”, our vulnerabilities are the places that allow others to connect with us.
Lois Lane may have desired Superman, but she fell in love with Clark Kent.
It’s all too easy to think others want us to be superhuman, but what each of us really connects with is the down-to-earth, totally human, perfectly imperfect in each other.
