Why do we take to heart what the critics say to us in our lives? Why do we become deaf, shy, resistant, afraid or doubt what people say to us about our gifts, talents and skills? Why do we sabotage, suppress and sit on our gifts? Do you listen to those who belittle you or to those who believe in you?
Some people are afraid to allow God to use them because they would have to move out of fear and comfort into a realm of trust. There is something special and unique about you.
YOU are an instrument of God.
There are people who need what you have to offer. You have within you the potential to bless so many lives. Don't let misguided people use and abuse you. Let God use you. Do the inner work to tap into your goals, gifts and glory. Acknowledge and accept your personal power. Let your light shine. Give it. Show it. Be it. Do it. Say it. Live it!
Whenever I start doubting myself, I read this powerful statement the legendary performing arts dancer, Martha Graham, would teach her students...
"There is a vitality, a life-force, an energy, a quickening that is
translated through you into action and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to
believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."
