light a candle and let shine
We are told as children to “let our light shine.” But the problem has been that over time our light dims with the slog and schmutz of life. And it seems to be more difficult to figure out where and when it’s OK to be ourselves.
How do we practice letting our lights shine?
What and how do we practice letting our lights shine?
It takes practice.
get comfortable being the odd one out, the seed planter, the truth teller it will help you come back to your center.
a couple of tips to practice – literally light a candle.
if you order something, and it’s not what you wanted, practice saying something. if you disagree with a friend, child or spouse, practice sharing your thoughts. the last one isn’t easy but if you can practice sharing and shining it doesn’t seem so daunting.
Light that candle!
