MAP – Day 12

Go now and change the world by being yourself.  That is enough.  More than enough.  Otherwise you wouldn’t be here in this moment.  In this lifetime.

You have something special to offer. (I am speaking to all of you you know.)  You may be tired of hearing this so called platitude but it is the truth.  You are special – very special – even when you don’t feel like it.

Your smile is more than enough to light up a room.  That simple.  How big do you perceive that room to be?  That really determines how far you perceive your light to shine and for you to be in this world.

I notice you even when you think nobody else does, when you believe you don’t make a difference.  You are seeing too small and for too short a time.

When you smile at someone on the street do you know what it did for their day, how long they think of you and how good they felt for someone – someone they don’t know – to notice them?  If this isn’t a gift then what is?

Go now and shine your light into the world if only through a smile.  Smile big, as large as you can.  Smile even if there is no one to see – for your light still shines and changes everything.  Remember – just because you cannot see it does not mean it is not so.  It exists.

Your light exists always, where you cannot see it.  Know you are changing lives you do not even know about just by your presence – your present as they like to say.  (There are many word plays we can speak about later at another time.)

Start with a smile and become comfortable with that.  See another for who they truly are.  Let them shine unto you for that is a gift too.  To receive another’s light is as important as giving yours.  But do not forsake one for another.

Do not hold your light back for another to shine for that dims the light together.  Be both your lights.  Shine on each other – not as a competition to outdo each other but as a way to raise the light in the room – to place more light for even more others to see their light too.

Do not worry about the light being too bright.  That cannot happen.  When others are ready to see they will join you in the light of all others too.  The more light the better for what you wish to accomplish in your world.

You will see that in time you cannot help but be the light you wish to be.  It cannot be otherwise for you  are the light always.

Shine.  Just shine and let nature take its course for it knows what to do and will show you the way.  Trust in that.

Smile your smile brightly today – and every day.
