Today I got my present from the family Kris Kindle (thanks Mercedes!), and I\u00b4m really excited about it, here it is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s the kind of thing I would never have bought for myself, but that I loved receiving as a present\u2026 It\u00b4s my letter! With shining lights! And I think it looks super cool on my bedroom shelf \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why do I know that I would never have bought it? Because I don\u2019t normally like being in the spotlight, I prefer to avoid standing out\u2026 That\u2019s been my style in most situations for as long as I can remember: going unnoticed insofar as possible. But also doing my job really well, hoping that others would notice (which of course, sometimes happened and sometimes didn\u2019t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on all of this now, I realize that I\u2019ve spent many of my years tiptoeing through life, so as to not be an inconvenience. And now that I am conscious of my way of being in this world, I have the option to keep it as it is or change it, as I see fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I like this metaphor of switching \u201cmy light\u201d on, to start shining. And I remembered this quote, attributed by many to Nelson Mandela, though in reality it is from Marianne Williamson:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
