“There is always a light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” Amanda Gorman
It was the line heard around the world on Inauguration Day last week. A line that has gotten so much play. When I first heard it, my heart sank as it softened. I immediately asked myself in that moment, “Who will I be in this moment?” I pose the same question to you:
Who will you be in this moment?
Who will you become?
2021 is not an end to 2020. It is a continuation. The unrelenting-ness of last year won’t be so heavy this year. But remnants linger as we continue to be called to evolve. To do better. To be brave. To be the light.
If you think this year will be different, then you are correct. But not because life gets easier. This year will be different because you are different. We are all different. We’ve all grown up a bit. We are changing how we show up in life because life has changed.
This year sees us getting our sea legs after being out to sea for what felt like an eternity without paddles, not knowing where the current would lead or when the waves would calm. And so I ask…
Who will you be in this moment?
Who will you become?
Now is not the time to wait. Our marching orders have been given and we must act. And it doesn’t matter how far you get. What matters is that you start somewhere. I know you know what must be done; quit beating around a burning bush and make it so.
The Universe did not send us on a trail of tribulations for nothing. We’ve actually been brought back to ourselves – our roots, our knowing, our truth, our essence.
And dear reader, this message isn’t just for you. It’s for me, too. It’s for all of us. The world has been asked to be brave enough to see the light and brave enough to be the light. And so I ask…
