To live in the light, as discussed in my first and second blog entries, you need to change. The only way you can change is by facing your obstacles and owning them fully. What does owning them fully mean? It means that you need to be brutally honest with yourself and take responsibility for what it is that is blocking/stopping you without looking for an outside/external excuse.
If you believe that the only way you can change is if something or someone around you changes then you are on a self limiting path. It is impossible to control something or someone else. All you have control over is you. The only thing you can truly change is you. It is easier to point the finger at someone else and get irritated with them, but the truth is that it is an escape mechanism. It is a way to avoid looking inside, because it is too hard, or too painful, lonely, dark, etc.
Should you decide though to change, you will see that the world around you changes. Your relationships will change and I mean all of them. Some will get stronger and others will fade. Your change will be noticed and you will become an inspiration to some that will choose to grow with you or it may not be right for others who will then choose to go their own way.
Independently, you will be stepping into your light and feeling stronger and lighter. The more you are in line with who you are and your path, the happier and more joyful you will be in the long run. Face your fears. They may look like fire breathing dragons, but when you look back you will see that they are really only kittens. Our perception blows them out of proportion and you will ask yourself: "Why didn't I do this sooner???"
In closing, I would like to share a quote that takes this whole discussion just one step further. Once you learn how to change you can then also direct your change to achieve great things. :)
"Be the change you want to see in the world." by Mahatma Ghandi
