peace within – Daily Muse

“There is no Love greater than Love with no object. For then you, yourself, have become love itself.”~Rumi

The holidays are upon us and it is a sure bet that you are busy. The hustle and bustle of the holidays is also one of the most stressful times of the year and you get wrapped up in the business of life much like the tightly wrapped gifts placed under a tree.

The thing about a wrapped present is that you can’t see what’s inside until you unwrap it. What looks pretty on the outside could very well be full of pain and hurting on the inside and the really ugly, poorly wrapped present could very well be beautiful on the inside.

During this season keep in mind that many are hurting. They might lash out, be rude or even ignore you but it’s not necessarily because of you. They are wrapped up and maybe even trying to cover up their own pain. Whether it is emotional or physical, you might not be able to see it with your eyes so it is difficult to understand why someone acts or responds in a way you don’t think is proper. While in your own busy world this year why not bring a little peace on earth? Share the spirit of the holidays by taking a moment to respond with love!

Set aside judgement

Whether white, black, red, yellow, tall or short, gay, straight, bi, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist (or another religion), married, single, spiritual or not, Democrat, Republican or Independent whatever your beliefs or convictions are there are things which are true for all of us; We are ALL human beings and we ALL bleed red. We all have feelings and experience challenges and pain in our lives. Put aside your judgements or better yet, clear the energy of judgement altogether and spread a little joy and peace in the world!

It only takes a moment…

It only takes a moment of your valuable time to pick up the phone and call a friend or family member you haven’t seen or spoken to in a while. It only takes a moment of your time to smile at the homeless person you pass on the street. It only takes a moment to respond with love instead of hate. It only takes a moment to share a smile and say hello to connect with spirit. If someone has in your eyes ‘wronged’ you, it only takes a moment to forgive.

It only takes a moment to respond with love and compassion instead of resistance and anger. The choices you make, words you use and energy you put out at any given moment leave a lasting impression whether you realize it or not. You never really know another’s journey or what they are going through. How you respond can change someones day for the better and it only takes a moment to do it!

Peace on earth, goodwill toward “human beings” is not just a holiday saying. Choosing to “become love itself” only takes a moment. Choosing to acknowledge another human spirit brings heaven to earth. Connect with your own spirit and decide what energy you’d like to generate in this world. It only takes a moment to shine your light which in turn allows others to do the same. This holiday season make moments which take your breath away. Spread a little peace on earth by choosing love…it only takes a moment. ~Shine Your Light Debbie

The other night while meditating there was suddenly a flood of golden light. It filled the room and surrounded me with gentle, loving grace. It was then I received a message from the angels. The message was simple “take your rightful place in the world”. While the initial message was short and sweet it came with a superabundance of information and insight.

TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD. What does that even mean? Each of us has a path and purpose which adds to the oneness and greater good of all. Many times people lower their vibration, shrink and hide from the world lest they feel vulnerable. Taking your rightful place in the world can only be accomplished by stepping up and bringing to the table (so to speak) all that you are. Shining in this world does make you vulnerable but taking your rightful place and holding your head tall and proud brings peace to your spirit and soul.

Taking your rightful place in the world does not mean you are exempt from being human and experiencing challenges for we are all here to learn and experience different things. Not everyone will step up and be a great artist or dancer or writer or whatever it is you’d like to step up and do. Taking your rightful place means you exist, you are human and you have a right to be you. You have the right to speak, live a passionate life and have good and even a few not so pretty growth periods.

Taking your rightful place does not mean letting your ego run rampant, steamrolling over people or that you know everything about yourself and others. I haven’t met a omniescent person yet but I’ve certainly met many who think they are. Taking your rightful place in this world is about being who you are, accepting who you are and meeting your challenges with grace and compassion. In fact, taking your rightful place means allowing others to be who they are and allowing them their own growth periods, the good, bad and ugly.

You have nothing to prove nor is there anything that needs validating from outside of you. It is about you giving yourself the space to be with the knowledge that you have a right to be here. Taking your rightful place in the world will be different for everyone and the fact is; It is our differences and diversity which, when not judged, enhance all of our lives.

Although you may feel vulnerable at first but it will be OK. Everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. If things aren’t going well for you check to see if your stuck in the past or worried about the future. Check to see if you’ve had similar challenges in the past. If so, that would show you are still working on the energy. Notice if there’s energy of shame. The energy of shame means you are coming from a place of trying to live up to someone else’s expectations of who they think you should be.

Take your rightful place in the world by stepping up and truly being yourself. Forgive yourself if you feel at some level you haven’t lived up to someone else’s expectations. Be proud of who you are. Accept your situation and know you have the ability to choose in an instant to get un-stuck and move forward. You have the ability and choice to change.

Also, know this; Your angels and guides are surrounding you with love. They are there to help and guide you. You are not alone. Consider your angels and guides your personal cheering section as you decide right here and now to TAKE YOUR RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE WORLD~Shine Your Light Debbie
