PLAYING SMALL

I recently asked myself these questions: “In what ways am I playing small?” I followed up with... “Where and what have I been withholding, and what as been the payoff?

Just by asking these questions I quickly learned that I have been withholding most of my abilities as a minister and a writer. I know that this is playing small because I am an intelligent and loving person. I ask myself, why then am I not taking responsibility for my actions instead of believing that the illness I’ve had for so many years can stop me?

I’m not sure what the payoff is as yet, but I am willing to explore this “holding back.” Is it my age – I don’t believe it. Age is a plus as a minister and a writer as well. Still, I have not found the courage to step into these shoes. Perhaps I have one foot in, but not both. This must change. I don’t know how many years I have left on this planet, and I want to make them count.

Written for you with Love,

Beloved Children, All answers to your questions are within you, and you must bring them forth. Your actions are scattered as is your mind. Your fears are holding you back from all that you can give to yourself and to the world. It is imperative that you accept this and begin to change that which is holding you to a place that is not serving you well.

The grip of fear prevents you from shouldering the responsibility of the present. You have good intentions, sometimes great intentions, but your fear overtakes you and you hide in your shell. You are afraid to allow the true Self to shine.

My dear one, be not afraid. You are loved and you must give your gifts in all ways. Living one moment at a time and releasing fear will catapult you into freedom. You must stand tall and face the fear of exposing your deepest truths. And this will set you free.

And so it is…
