“The more light you allow within you the brighter the world you live in will be.”
~Shakti Gawain~
The awakened soul sees life differently. One wonderful indicator of personal growth is resistance from those around you. As we change, the world around us is transformed, and often, close family and friends will unknowingly attempt to keep the status quo because they may not be ready for their own changes.
Be patient with those who grace your life. Gentle reminders, detached compassion and love without expectation are new ways to respond to existing repetitive patterns. You make a difference as consistent awakened behavior becomes your new baseline.
Even as the darkest room is completely transformed by the light of a candle, the world around you is transformed by the light you shine upon it. As you grow more in your spiritual practice, you’ll have more resources, more experience and more insight from which to draw.
Your intentions will manifest – often in unforeseen and miraculous ways. In the meantime, choose to live with laughter and joyful expectation. No matter where you have been or what situations have played a part in your awakening, you have the ability to transform your experience. The light of consciousness changes everything.
