Celebrating our accomplishments and freely sharing our gifts is something that many of us were told and raised NOT to do in order to avoid looking vain, conceited, full of ourselves and my favourite- so " your head can still fit through the doorway".
This keeps us small.
Most of us have experiences, often stemming from childhood, where we decided that being ME is not enough. A significant moment where we decided that it was safer/easier/less painful/more comfortable to shine a little less. We decided to dim to fit in.
Make this the year you decide to shine big and bright! If you have dimmed your light to stay "comfortable" or even to help those around you feel comfortable, it is time to stop. Don't dim your light to accommodate someone else's smallness.
Often when others feel uncomfortable around you it is because you are shinning light that they are dimming to fit in themselves. Shine anyways! Be brave.
You got this.
AND - by you choosing to shine and expand into who you were meant to be, you may just inspire others to start shining too.
Either way, make the choice for yourself.
There is enough for everyone to go around.
When you feel the urge to dim, to play small and revert to your old ways, take a deep breath, be brave and do it anyways!
Keep your light on, SHINE BRIGHT and watch as life shines back at you.
