The Time To Rise Is Now

A few nights ago, I couldn’t fall asleep (might have been the mocha I had at 6:30pm!) but I did remember an old story with a powerful insight that I wanted to share with y’all…

Years ago I was on an organized tour in another country and my bag got lost when we were moving from one hotel to another. Instead of freaking out and causing a scene, I stayed pulled together and told our guide I was fine.

This was a spiritual oriented trip, so our guide assumed the role of a coach and began probing me as to why I was not upset. Believing being calm and collected hands down beat freaking out, I found her questioning quite odd.

However, she could see something I couldn’t…I feared being a bother to others. (As a side note, I still wonder if they hid my bag just to bring this issue to my attention because, shortly thereafter, it was found).

Fast forward to present day and I can still see this fear sneaking up on me when it comes to wanting to shine my light brighter by sharing spiritual insights from my journey…I want to share them buuuttt I don’t want to be a bother to those who are not interested.

Here’s the truth that I (we) must face and boldly accept: We can’t refrain from acting on our own inspiration simply because it might step on someone’s toes. To do so is to shrink when we’re meant to expand.

We must be bold enough to honor our inspiration by acting on it.

We must also trust that the very nature of inspiration is rooted in kindness.

Then we can allow the chips to fall where they may, trusting that it’s for the highest good of all concerned.

The time to rise is now (more than ever).

Always Shine Brightly,

Shanna
