Bravery is the choice to show up and listen to another person, be it a loved one or perceived foe, even when it is uncomfortable, painful, or the last thing you want to do.
Feeling guilt dims our light. Instead of dimming our light to make others feel more comfortable, we could just continue to shine and foster the rise of the vibrations of those around us. Being Happy and Feeling Good does not mean you have no compassion for the misery of those around you. It simply means you wonât dim your light to make them feel comfortable â instead, youâre going to help light the way. At first, your light may be a bit too bright for others and it may hurt their eyes, yet itâs far better to shine rather than to hide your light. When you hide your light for too long, it extinguishes and you slip right back into darknessâŠunable to find your way until someone âshinyâ comes along to light your way and help you to find the light you still possess within, your Soulâs Magnificence.
Accept the past as the past and realize that each new day you are a new person who doesnât need to carry old baggage into the new day with you. Itâs amazing how many people ruin the beauty of today with the sorrows of yesterday. Yesterday doesnât exist anymore! For example, if ever I feel foolish or guilty about something Iâve done, I learn from it and attempt to do better the next time. Shame or guilt serves no one. Such feelings actually keep us down, often lowering the vibrations of those around us, as well. Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you.
Itâs all about reprogramming our minds to focus more on what brings us joy.
Relationships are steppingstones for the evolution of our consciousness. Each interaction we have, be it one of joy or contrast, allows us to learn more about who we are and what we want in this lifetime. They bring us into greater alignmentâŠas long as we continue to move forward and do not get attached to hurt, anger, or being a victim.
