What’s Your BRILLIANCE?
Ciao Amica Mia,
As always, I’m wishing you a lovely Sacred Sunday and hoping you’re well.
Two years ago, I took a business class that was steeped in spiritual teachings.
The instructor, a M. Div. is also a teacher of Sufism.
It was quite an informative experience I assure you!
💎Something I learned in the course that’s been “working me” is a concept that each of us carries within – one “gem” that is unique to the individual.
💎Although we certainly are multi-faceted, the teaching believes that there is one gem uniquely given to you and what magnetizes people to you.
💎While the teaching also relates the gem to a quality of God, I find that this idea does not conflict with most spiritual beliefs.
So, stay with me here.
As I continued on my own personal and professional evolution, I became more intrigued with the thought and image of a brilliant gemstone shining forth touching the hearts and lives of those around us.
As if they were bathed in scintillating light, fragrant with love.
Naturally, as a contemplative exercise, I began asking myself these questions…
What’s my unique gem⁉️
What does it feel like in my body and heart when it shines forth⁉️
How do other people feel when my gem sparkles around them drawing them close⁉️
How does it feel to me, and to others, when my gem is dusty and needs polishing⁉️
What I realized is, that I believe whole-heartedly, each of us does indeed possess what I call an intrinsic Brilliance. Liken it to a virtue or a quality.
💎Plus, your Brilliance, is a gift that is meant to be shared, not hoarded or disregarded.
Now I don’t mean that you have to become CEO of a new skin care line you created. Or manage a sales team of 20 people in order for you to shine. Unless of course that’s your jam!
What I believe, is that your purpose in life is to self-actualize. To become the best and shiniest version of YOU that you possibly can.
I believe that your journey here on planet earth is one of personal and spiritual development.
The thing is, when you commit to the work and the process of interior growth, the result is you learn the art of living full on!
You’ll find that your relationship with yourself, and with others, radiates with vitality, sensuality, creativity and JUICINESS.
So, I urge you to ask yourself…
What’s my unique gem⁉️
What does it feel like in my body and heart when it shines forth⁉️
How do other people feel when my gem sparkles around them drawing them close⁉️
How does it feel to me, and to others, when my gem is dusty and needs polishing⁉️
For as Marianne Williams so elegantly writes, “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.”
With so much love and appreciation, xoxo Paulette
