Your True and Authentic Self Wants to Shine

“I want to make something of myself.”  I remember these words which came from a young lady in my teen pregnancy prevention program some years back.  She said the words so sincerely and wholeheartedly although she had a confused look on her face.  She couldn’t tell us what her exact career plans were, but that much she knew—she knew she wanted to make something of herself, but the look on her face told me that she didn’t know how. 

And even beyond our teen years, we often feel the same way.  We know we wan to do something productive with our lives, but sometimes we don’t know what to do or how to do it. 

 Since my journey in spiritual evolution, I have discovered that it can all be so simple.  There is a simple path to “making something of ourselves.”  This simple path is the path of enlightenment.

 The path of enlightenment makes it simple to “make something of your self.”  When we choose and commit to the path of enlightenment, we don’t have to struggle to be or do anything, we jus have to be available to the flow of ever-increasing good in our lives.  We don’t have to have all the answers.  We don’t have to know how to do every little thing. It is as simple as being available for good to flow in our lives.

This literally un-complicates a lot of things in our lives.  So many of us are chasing status and beating ourselves up for where we “should be by now.”  We have these unrealistic timelines and we beat ourselves up because we haven’t achieved what the “world” tells us we should have achieved by now. 

 When we take a closer look at it with our hearts, we discover that many of the things the “world” is pressuring us to do, be, become, and have—we don’t even want.  Some among us were pressured in careers we don’t want, jobs we don’t want, friendships we don’t want, and even relationships we don’t want. 

Some among us right now are struggling to keep the very things we don’t want.  The path of enlightenment helps us recover the strength to “Let go and Let God.” 

 We all say we want to make something of ourselves, but what are we really saying?  We are truly saying that we want the freedom to become more of who we really are.  We are really saying that we want to get to know our true and authentic self and live life according to this authenticity. 

Many of us are tired of the facades and trying to please everyone in our lives but our true and authentic self.  The stagnation we may feel, the frustration we may feel is not necessarily because we haven’t achieved a certain thing.  The true source of our frustration is that we have not reached true self-realization.  The frustration is our true and authentic self desiring to come forth and let our light shine. 

So friends and members of the Blue Lotus Living Community don’t hold the light of your soul under a lampshade of someone else’s plans for your life.  Let the light of your soul shine and live as your true and authentic self.
