The Light Within

It’s been a few days since I have launched my new site and I have been mentoring a few people on how to start up their business. In this day and age, you have to have a back up plan or a Plan B. Sometimes you need a C and D plan but that’s for another day. Have you ever wanted something so badly and right when you thought it was within your grasp it vanished? You look and look to find it but it’s no longer there?
I’m here to tell you that that’s just an illusion. It hasn’t gone anywhere. If you search deep inside you will find that it is your essence, the light from within you. Many times we give up too soon because things don’t happen like we envision them. Just because it didn’t play out exactly like you planned does not mean its a failure. I had a friend who owned a fitness studio. She kept opening in the wrong locations (or so she thought). At every turn there was an obstacle in her business and so after spending thousands of dollars she thought maybe this isn’t for me. However, she refused to give up. She kept pushing and now she has one of the top studios in her area and not just one but three. She had a burning light inside of her that kept saying “there is a light at the end of the tunnel”.
Not every situation turns out like this because sometimes you just have your light shining on the wrong thing. Don’t be afraid to step out on faith. Failing 1000 times just gives you more experience for that one BIG success!! Know that on every dark path there will be some light shed whether its experience, knowledge for the next adventure, or just a learning curve for that one thing that tips in your favor. Never give up, never dim your light and always surround yourself with people that will help your light to burn brighter and not try to smother it.
Many Blessings!
