Lighting Up

(Photos courtesy of Tiny Buddha…..)

Being yourself sounds like a simple task.  It is a deceptively simple task, however.  Just finding out who you really are takes time.  Accepting yourself, is entering an advanced level of insight.

But if you keep in mind, that just by being yourself, you can be someone else’s lighthouse, then that makes the process much more worthwhile.

Your presence alone might give hope to someone who thought no one would love them.  Maybe they thought no one would want them, because they were too old, or too young, or had kids, or wasn’t, “cool” enough.

Maybe they found out that just by being themselves, they would be accepted.  Maybe they realized that you would accept them just as they are, no questions asked.

Maybe they realized they felt safe to just be true to themselves.  Maybe they finally felt accepted by someone that actually mattered to them.  Maybe you did this all, so effortlessly.  Maybe you achieved this just by being yourself.
