Hello and welcome beautiful Insight Timer community.
Today we are on week 10 of our year of journaling.
As always I opened up the Cosmic Journey Oracle by Yanique Silver and pulled a random card after a lot of shuffling and a lot of thought and wouldn't you know it I got number 10.
Deliver your greatest gift to the world.
Go ahead the world is ready for you,
The real you,
The true and authentic you that you have been hiding somewhere because someone once told you it's not okay to be fully seen.
There's no reward for being falsely humble.
Your brilliance and luminosity don't diminish the light of anyone else.
It only gives others permission to come forward fully too.
Life simply wants more life.
Your role is to become the fullest expression of the life you have been blessed with in your playful purpose here now.
Okay I really love this card.
This one was speaking to me loud and clear.
Last week we did a live on being an introvert and one of the things that came up was how as introverts sometimes we tend to hold back and let other people shine and I know myself personally that's something I have spent a lot of time doing.
Playing small,
Hiding behind someone else.
So I really love this card and the question that it gives us is when and why did I first diminish my light?
Who played a role knowingly or unknowingly in diminishing it?
Now maybe this doesn't apply to you.
Maybe you don't feel like you've ever diminished your light but look around you and look at ways that you can shine even brighter and I know last week we had a similar question so I feel like we've got a theme going here and the last thing I'm going to ask you to do is this cosmic checkbox that he mentions here in his book.
Look at each of the names you wrote out during your cosmic catalyst and send love and forgiveness toward that person.
Now again this is only going to apply if you do come up with someone that you feel might have played a role either knowingly or unknowingly in you diminishing your light.
I think this is a wonderful journaling prompt and it's definitely going to be one of my favorites.
So I'm going to leave you with this thought as you go off to journal.
Your role is to become the fullest expression of the life you have been blessed with.
All right my friends let's get to writing.
Okay I hope you enjoyed Wasm Violet's background music and that you were inspired to do a lot of writing as I was.
I kept going back to the description in the book on this card number 10 and one of the lines that really speaks to me is there's no reward for being falsely humble.
I for one have spent a lot of time being humble downplaying what I had to offer thinking that maybe I did not have enough to offer particularly as a teacher on Insight Timer.
I hesitated to get started for that reason and I want to give a huge huge shout out to Insight Timer teacher Tom Evans who I know many of you have heard me mention before.
Tom is such an amazing supporter of the other teachers and I feel like he has been one of my biggest supporters and someone who just gives me a lot of confidence and is always reaffirming for me that I need to share my gifts and I need to stop doubting myself.
So thank you for that Tom.
And my friends I hope that you are having a fabulous week.
I look forward to meeting you back here next week for week 11 of our year of journaling and until then continue to shine like the beautiful bright light that you are.
