As I write this blog I’m watching one of my favorite holiday classics “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer“. I settled in to watch with the innocence and delight of a child.

I watched as Rudolph resisted covering up his beautiful shiny nose then was bullied & shunned for the very thing that in the end made him the hero who saved Christmas.

As Rudolph walked away from his peers in isolation he began to sing:

“Why am I such a misfit?
I am not just a nit wit!
I’m an adorable reindeer
Why don’t I fit in? “

Then there’s the island of misfit toys. Those toys KNEW they would be loved by children if given the chance. Instead they were effectively thrown away and banished to an isolated island.

At one time or another I think we have all felt like we didn’t fit in and decided to isolate. I can tell you that growing up sensitive to and seeing energy pretty much put me in the feeling like a misfit category many times!

When I started taking meditation and clairvoyant classes
I remember feeling like it was the first time a really belonged. There I was sitting in a room with other people who had grown up feeling like “misfits” because we could see or feel things others weren’t aware of; Not because there was something wrong with us!

Now ponder this question: “Misfit” according to whom? The bullies? The haters? The naysayers? There is no such thing as a misfit! Although you may not fit in to this group or that, if you are different, it is your uniqueness that is special!

If you feel shunned, see things from a different perspective, have a brilliant idea that is invalidated or have tried to fit in to a particular “click” maybe it has nothing to do with YOU! Maybe those feelings stem from something you were once told, you were laughed at or even bullied. If you took on those energies and haven’t cleared them out, you are not living as YOU are.

Trying to be like someone else doesn’t work. Trying to fit in to a group doesn’t work. YOU being YOU does! Considering yourself beautiful, unique and special, will attract those that appreciate who you are. Bathe yourself in a golden light to help bring forth your inner light. It is YOUR light that very well may guide, inspire and illuminate the path of another!

Your true spiritual essence shines unlike anyone else’s and when you embrace that uniqueness and love the very thing that makes you different, your spirit grows and expands with that vibration. It fills you up with YOU instead of those other energies that you’ve held on to for so long! So….

‘ Some would even say you glow! Hey you with your shiny light, be a guide and inspire tonight! And all the ones that join you will loudly shout it out with GLEE, living from who you are, is the only and best place to be!’

Each one of us has a story. In fact we all live our lives according to many stories. There is the story we tell ourselves and the story we tell others. There is the story of your life as you experienced it and the story that others perceive.

Yes, we all have a story but the truth of it is that a story is illusion. It is a recollection of experiences based on our own perceptions and feelings. Others will have a different perception based on their own feelings and experiences even if they are a part of your story.

It’s not that a particular experience didn’t have an effect on your life. In fact it may have had a profound affect but if you continue to hold on to and live your life based on that story it will be difficult if not impossible to move on and write a new one.

I’ve always loved watching those TV sitcoms where a situation is recalled by several of the characters. Each one has a different version of the same occurrence. Somewhere in the middle is the truth.

Entertain for a moment that perhaps the story you remember is YOUR version. What is important about this? Well, if you define your life and current circumstances based on a story in effect you are living an illusion.

The truth of the matter is that the illusion may not even be YOUR story! It could be a story someone told you and the story sounded so plausible and certain that it completely changed your version. Your doubts allowed another’s certainty to become what you thought was the truth.

There is always a story and then there are the facts. Unless you are on a reality TV show with cameras rolling 24/7 keep an open mind when someone tells a story. It is their story, their personal version as seen through the “filters” of what they were thinking and feeling at the time. While there is truth according to them, there is also your truth.

Is your story a mystery? A drama? A Fairy Tale? A romance novel? Is it an independent film or an ongoing series? Whatever and however you describe your story, it is just that…a story. Your story is not who you are and someone else’s story is not who they are.

Look beyond the story. Find reality and truth not by defining yourself or others from a story but by seeing and acknowledging true essence and spirit. Spirit is not in the deeds we do nor the story we tell. It is present in the intention behind those deeds and the light we shine from within.

Seeing and acknowledging your spirit and the spirit of others removes the illusion of a story. It allows you to free yourself and others from the story thus creating a space for everyone to shine in their brightest form! ~Shine Your Light Debbie
