Although it may feel scary to consider what you have to offer, it can also be very exciting. I believe that you do have a sense of your magnificence, even if it's buried very deeply. Perhaps you just haven't given it an opportunity to be unlocked and to shine brightly. You can unlock this at your own pace and this usually requires you stepping out of your comfort zone. Although when you first step out of your comfort zone it may feel difficult and fearful, you will at some point become comfortable again. The first step out of your comfort zone is to start process of seeing clearly what you have to offer that may potentially shake world. Whether you have much of an idea of what it is or not, start by committing your thoughts to paper. This allows you to see it clearer as it is today, and opportunity to add to it and explore it more. Exploring it more involves considering following:

·What are your ideas? ·What are you really good at? ·What do you want to change? ·Your values. ·What's important to you?

At this stage you may not know how you're going to go about using your unique abilities and that's okay. Continue to write about them, dream about them and allow yourself to get really excited about them. When your enthusiasm and inspiration is increased dramatically, you will find that you naturally know what needs to be done. Your excitement and inspiration is infectious to people around you, even if they don't know of your idea. This often draws right people and opportunities to you.

What I want for you is to stop playing small and discover what your unique brilliance is.

Daily life is just that. In essence, it is upward struggle to achieve and accomplish, to move forward and to retrace our steps when we fall back. It is to educate ourselves as to skills and abilities, to learn from others, to teach those around us, and to celebrate our talents, and abilities, and to further learn from our mistakes and failures. It is "never giving ourselves luxury of giving up" and it is "taking heat" from others and being able to build a grand fire with it. We can point out path that leads upward to those who are confused, and we can tap those who have chosen incorrect road and do what we can to show them where "right way" is. It is taking young and reaching into our "resource" cabinet and use tools and ways to instruct, enlighten and challenge. It is also taking elderly and opening our ears to listen to their wisdom and their experiences. It is like having your own personal guide to history but with wonderful ability to touch hand and look into eyes of someone who has "been there and done that."

Your family, your friends, your neighbors and every single being you encounter in your daily life has something to offer, or to take away. Graciously accept what they offer, utilize it if possible, or store it for future use, and thank them by reciprocating favor or just smiling and bringing a new light to their day. It is also being able to graciously give, to walk away from, and to cherish memories. Each person, each life form, and each and every single day is not just another reminder on a calendar, it is a gift wrapped in papers of opportunity, challenge, insight, foresight, and other things. The ribbon is bright horizons of possibility as well as "ties that bind" to our past, our ancestry, and our origins. The "tag" has our name on it, and it is our gift -from a world that would not be same if we were not a part of it and most certainly each and every one of us has made it a better, brighter, and richer world to live in because of who we are and what we have done and can do. We may not feel we have made an impact on world, but you never know when someone is listening to our words, taking note of our actions, and basking in warmth of our smiles and our kindness.
