A few days ago, a fabulous
20-something friend sent me a PM with exciting news – an international
organisation had seen her commentary online about an issue she is passionate
about and were interested in partnering with her. They even wanted her to write
a blog for them.
My amazing friend was
OVER THE MOON.
This inspirational
woman is not just a great friend. She has also been a client over the past few years
and we have talked many times about putting herself out there. I’ve always
known she is here to create some wonderful changes in the world but she has often
hesitated to share her voice and opinions.
Until now.
LOTS OF 20-SOMETHINGS HIDE
THEIR LIGHT because…
- You think other people can say it better
- You’re worried about offending people (i.e. you
want everyone to like you)
- Your parents/friends/family/strangers on the
street won’t agree with you, “get it” or will think you’re crazy
- You think you’re not good enough
- You think no one really cares what you think
Does this sound like
you? If so, trust me, you are not alone AT ALL. But I have to tell you
something…it’s all BS!! All those stories you’ve been telling yourself about
why you can’t do what you want, say what you want, be who you want and go where
you want to go are NOT TRUE.
You are capable of
creating a world that is more kind, more sustainable, more creative, more
loving, more expansive, more everything that you believe is important BUT you will
have to show your light first. You will have to put yourself out there, back
yourself, take risks, be by yourself for a while, take the road less travelled,
be the one dissenting voice in the crowd, be okay with people thinking you’re
crazy, be okay with offending people.
If you want a
different life, you must change you first. You must take your passions and
channel them into things that you love, and then share them with the world so
others can hear your voice. Just like my friend, you will have to feel a little
bit nervous, terrified and excited all at the same time. And then you will need
to begin.
Because if you hide
your light, no one can see it. And the world needs to see it. Trust me.

A few days ago I wrote about committing to your dream; making a commitment to yourself about the thing you desire in order manifest it in your life. After all, if you’re not committed to creating that eventuality, it’s never going to show up.
I also suggested that, in order to manifest that thing, you must believe it’s possible. You must believe it, even if all your previous life experiences tell you otherwise.
This is a big call to make.
What if you’ve watched other people try to create what you want, and they’ve failed? How can you think you’ll be any different?
That is the trick though, isn’t it? If you think about the great inventors or leaders of history, they surely looked around at others who had tried before and didn’t make it. Consider Nelson Mandela, a freedom fighter who believed in peace and that apartheid in South Africa could eventually end. How many times was he told, ‘It’s not possible. The odds are too great.’ Yet this one man was instrumental in ending that repression because he believed it was possible.
Consider Leonardo da Vinci. He believed humans could fly and I’m pretty sure he was told repeatedly that it wasn’t possible. Yet today our skies are filled with planes transferring their precious human cargo from one landing strip to the next. Da Vinci believed it was possible and, although he only drew the sketches in his lifetime, today those flying machines are a reality.
Many of us may be persuaded to abandon our dreams because of what other people say and believe. We can think our dreams are unrealistic because it’s all been done before and people have failed.
But if you want to manifest something in your life, you must believe it’s possible even if other people tell you that you’re deluded. You must believe in it with all your heart. There are no half measures with this stuff. You must back yourself 100 percent if you wish to manifest this thing in your life.
And it doesn’t matter what your dream is. It could be big or small. Maybe you want to travel to a foreign country before you die, work in that dream job everyone tells you that you’re not good enough for, or maybe you want to create a home for yourself just the way you like it. Or perhaps it’s to find that one person who makes you feel loved in every part of your soul.
Whatever your dream, whatever your desire, you must believe it’s possible.
So if you want that thing, if you really, really want it, first make that commitment to yourself. Then believe it is possible.
And after that, follow the signs the Universe sends you.
