Which of your gold is hardest for you to accept?
For so many of us, we have a hard time accepting and speaking about the characteristics within us that we are proud of.
Perhaps we were told that we shouldn’t think too highly of ourselves.
This is an interesting way of looking at things.
As Marianne Williamson said,
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
That being said - if we use the gold within us - our positive characteristics - to change the world - how is this to be considered arrogant or thinking too highly of ourselves?
In that sense - it is not about whether or not we have gold within us - but rather - it is how we use it. Do we use it just for selfish gain - or do we use it in service of others?
So again I ask, which of your gold is hardest for you to accept?
What are those things within you, that if you accepted them fully, would spring forth more joy and fulfillment both in you and the world around you?
