You were born to shine



When you were born, you were perfect in every way.   You were not hopeless full of shame and self criticism. You were born with eyes of wonder, the determination to learn to crawl, walk, speak, have what you want.
You weren't born bad, or fat, or dumb or not good enough. When you were born, everyone rejoiced, had amazing hopes for you and unconditional love. All parents love their children at the moment.

Somewhere along the way, someone else's views, opinions, treatment of you, expectations caused you to start to question your innate beauty and light inside. Somewhere you began to ask yourself if the you that you knew yourself to be is real, and you began to think. You may have thought yourself quieter, dumber, fatter, less conspicuous, more self critical.

One thing you are, is a good thinker.....
So if you thought yourself that way, then I have one question for you. Because you think it, is it true?
Do you see the beauty in others? Do you forgive others for their own shortcomings? Are you unable to forgive because they did something you judge of being unworthy of your fabricated you?
Take one moment.  
Just sit quietly, and breathe in a huge big breath.
Breathe out pain, and stubbornness, self criticism and criticism of others.
Breath in again, Breathe in light, beauty, peace and silence. 
Breathe out lies, and opinions and voices in your head telling you that you are not good enough.

Now remember that child born in beauty. Is that the real you? Can you see your light yet? Let it shine, and celebrate others who dare to let their light shine.
