Today's
Meditation:
The
world in which we live doesn't really teach us about our own
power. This is something that we have to discover for
ourselves, and it seems that relatively few people actually
do discover it, and even fewer actually act on it.
Many of those who act on the knowledge of their own power
use that power for purely selfish motives, trying to extend
that power over other people, trying to become
"powerful" in the world's eyes, either
politically, physically, financially, or even spiritually.
But
we all have the power to change the world in small ways, if
we're able to find the courage to give of ourselves without
being concerned about rejection or failure. It does
take courage to listen to the beat of our own drummer and
follow it, letting others follow the beat that they wish to
follow. There is ample goodness in our hearts to make
a great difference in the world, if we're but able to access
it, trust it, and share it with others.
I
may never see any direct results of the goodness I share
today, the giving that I do. But my small act of
goodness may inspire someone else to share their goodness,
and the ripple effect is born. Or what I do today may
stay with someone else for a very long time until he or she
is ready to give, and my act may be an inspiration that that
person follows in order to give of him or herself.
Do
you dare to be yourself, at all times, in all
situations? If you do, then congratulations-- you're
among a rare breed. We all are truly unique
individuals with a great deal of goodness to share;
unfortunately, we don't all act that way all the time.
