Hey there, fellow Spiritual Gangsters!

The holiday season has arrived with all its splendour and giving. And while so many of us are focused on giving to others, I’m here to remind you of the greatest gift you can give yourself…

…which is to be yourself. 

To let yourself shine unabashedly and to own the truth of who you are.

Because guess what?

You matter. 
Your life matters.
Your being here on this planet matters.

It matters because every single contribution you have to make, the world has been waiting to experience from you. The fact that you are here, is the only evidence that you need to know that you matter.

And if you don’t show up and ‘do you’, no one else will. 

Because they can’t.

Because there is not another human being on the planet quite like you. No one has been through what you have been through – certainly not in the same way that you’ve been through it with your unique perception and experience.

Your life and what you are meant to do and contribute IS SPECIAL and DOES MATTER.

But it won’t happen if you are too busy trying to be someone else. If you are too busy trying to hide yourself from the world. If you keep dimming your light.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you NOT to be? Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine.” – Marianne Williamson

Yes! We are ALL meant to shine. We are all meant to manifest the light and love within us and that happens by living an authentic life.

Being yourself is also the greatest gift you can give everyone in your life.

Playing small serves no one. But when you shine your light, it reminds those around you of the very same light inside themselves. You being yourself fully is the greatest gift you can give the world.

“Stop pretending to be a lightbulb when you are really the sun.” – Kute Blackson

Chose today to give yourself the greatest gift you could ever give – permission to be yourself.

Own the truth of who you are.
Step into the truth of your life and get to work living it.
The world needs us all to shine.

So let your light radiate from within you.

xo, M
