I was doing some house chores when this came to my mind:

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐭 - 𝐢𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮!"

I was like wow! I had to stop what I was doing to probe this thought further. And here's what I got.

Everyone has been given a degree of light to tackle the deep darkness in society today. My coach calls them "Enigmas".

The intensity of our light and how far-reaching it is may vary, but we all have been given some degree of light.

The real issue is that some of us have been made to believe the lie that we have nothing, and we carry nothing - that light and influence, purpose and legacy are the exclusive preserve of a few "chosen" people.

Therefore, with this limiting mindset, our senses are dulled, and we cannot see the light, the gifts and the treasures within us.

This is why we are trapped in an endless search for our "purpose." Today, we think we've found it, but by tomorrow, we feel lost and clueless about why we are here.

The enemy's strategy is to keep us in that loop until we eventually give up and just coast through life - 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐲𝐞𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠:

♦️ Acknowledge that you are LIGHT. Believe that you carry something that the world needs. Believe it!

♦️ 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬. 𝐆𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 "𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞" 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭.

Sometimes we think we know ourselves, but most of it is borrowed from either what others have said to us or what society has programmed us to believe. 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥!

♦️ Start with what currently burns in your heart, and as you pour yourself into it, clarity will emerge. Stop fixating on being one thing.

𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞.

I can assure you that these three steps if followed, will switch on your light and unleash the brilliance within you.

The fog will start to lift, and you'll move closer to the person you're meant to be.
