Dearest,
Life can be challenging.
Fear and anxiety show up for a visit and the urge is strong
- to give in
- stop dreaming
- settle
But listen. . .
You’ve got to keep going. You can’t give up.
Because you – of all the people I know – have a gift to offer.
A gift so remarkable, so uniquely you, it would break my heart if you stopped offering.
Every time you’ve been tempted to give up and take the easy road, you’ve followed your own light. Some days barely visible but enough to illuminate the path ahead of you.
That light can not be extinguished.
You may not know this about yourself, but you are a warrior of the light.
A torch-bearer, a fire starter, a beacon.
When you think you have nothing left to give, your greatness – radiance – shines through.
Some are blinded by it. Pay them no mind.
The world needs you to keep shining.
It’s why you’re here.
xoS
p.s. Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Inspired by The Heart-Changing Letter Exercise.
Sandi,
I needed this today so much. I even talked to my mom about tan hour ago and said those words in that letter (above) about giving up, no one’s listening, etc. I’m okay now. I know I’ll be led down the right path for me.
Thank you! That was so important to hear. Gave me the chills! (Good ones!)
Betsy,
You know I love you right? YOU are the beacon I’m talking about. YOU. And I’m so glad you keep showing up here and sharing your light.
Just thought I’d say that I don’t know how Betsycross10 got invited to the party!?LOL ( comment below)
Is she your alter ego? 😉
This is so, so lovely and inspiring, and exactly how I would want to feel about myself! I’m hanging yours up on the fridge right next to mine.
Thanks to you, for posting that lovely exercise. It reached out and grabbed my heart and today’s post is what came out 🙂
♥ beautiful
Thank you Misty and ♥ to you!
Sandi, you’re an inspiration. Your words are like light and you’re shining bright, lovely. Thank you for sharing this post.
PS. “Wherever you go, go with all your heart.” LOVE this quote and have it on a fridge magnet. My friends and family are back home in England, but I am convinced that this is where I belong, my whole heart tells me so. Why else did they invent aeroplanes?
Why go if you’re not going to take your whole heart 😉
“Here” being the grand ol’ US of A…
Great to read at the end of a long hard, tedious day that ended with some frustration. Thank you for your wonderful words.
