Magnificence

Own your magnificence - the world needs your brilliance and grace.

Most of us need to feel necessary -not needed, per se, but necessary - as though we have a purpose and without us the world would be a different place entirely. But how to contribute? What do we have to offer that no one else can?

Inside each of us is a spark -a mark of life, a brilliance. It shines through us, through our darkest moments and is made visible to others even when we cannot see it. In fact, sometimes, it is only through the reflection of another that we see it. But regardless of how it is made visible, it is present. And it is up to each of us to share it with each other, with the world.

The harsh reality is that no one is going to come looking for it. If it crosses their path, they may stop to admire but they will not seek you out. You must put yourself out there - put your glow in the pathway of others - offer yourself to the world. It is the only way for people to see us!

We each have something to give, to offer, to donate. It may be a shape, a color, a feeling -it may affect one person, or it might affect many, hundreds, thousands - it COULD change the world. One thing is certain - it won't affect everyone is you refuse to share it with anyone.

Be confident in your abilities, your brilliance... surprisingly enough confidence can magnify your shine by a factor of a thousand!

And do not fear - it is visible... it shines right through - out your eyes and your smile in a brilliance that people see as a beautiful soul, a light in the darkness, a compassion, a radiance.

So radiate! Do not hold your gifts ransom from the world, rather put them out where everyone can view them. Not all will appreciate them, not all will "understand" them or you, but someone will. Someone will see you for who you are, and they will give thanks indefinitely that you were strong enough to offer yourself to the world - that you gave them the pleasure and the opportunity to experience you in all your magnificence.

I love you,
