You have reached an important milestone when the brightest thing that shines in your world is you.

Your light will shine as long as you provide it with the energy it needs to do so.

When we gain an understanding of something we are learning to appreciate it for what it is and what it means to us. We sometimes look at the same thing from different angles to try and figure out how to best understand it. The way in which we come to understand something is going to directly reflect how it plays its role in our life. Now, imagine being able to place the same amount of energy into figuring out how we can create the best version of ourselves. The result of this simple idea is something that so many of us miss out on because we are focused on everything else that seems to hold more importance than us working on ourselves.

I remember a time when working on the things that would have made sense provided less satisfaction than continuing to do things that made no sense at all. I had become immersed in a world that provided all of my demons the things needed for them to remain in control. Every next mistake pulled me further away from the version of myself that I was trying to rediscover. Life had become a push and pull relationship between the way I wanted to live and the way that I actually was living. My mind remained strong, and my heart remained lit despite the challenges that my shadows presented. An unwavering soul will always have what it takes to provide you with that next step. A light that is eternal will lose to no form of darkness.

We will continue to grow and change as we travel along the path that we create. The most promising thing that comes with lighting our own way is that we are set with the limitations that we create for ourselves and not the ones that the paths of others will create for us.

What things will you pay attention to today to discover more about the light inside of you that waits to guide your way?
