Be A Light
By William Frank Diedrich
You are a light to the world. You are a living example of what all of
us can achieve. Your personal transformation helps to transform all of
us. People who are helping to transform the planet are called light
workers. They are bringing light, a higher energy, into life on earth
at this time. They are helping to evolve the people on this planet to
a higher state of being.
Today there are many light workers walking the planet. Many of these
are struggling with their own issues in prosperity, health, and
relationships. It is often difficult for them to see their own ability
to be a light worker. It may be difficult for you to see your ability
t o shine. This will change. It is easy to see ourselves as fakes or
unqualified. If everyone had to be "qualified" to shine their light,
we wouldn't have much light at all. There is no one more qualified
than you to help others grow into wholeness. You are a light worker
unfolding. Wherever you stand in life, you are in a position to
influence others toward well being.
You become a light to others simply by deciding. Most of us have spent
time and energy focusing on what we need. If you are still spending
time feeling need, then perhaps it is time to shift your focus to what
you can give. Your needs are already met. Your Source is providing for
you. You have the tools to manifest what you want. You can feel the
way you want to feel right now. Focus on how you can be a channel for
good flowing to others.
How can you help? Whatever services or products you offer to the
world, whatever care you offer to friends and family, and whatever
prayers you send out into the world, these are all a part of your
light. How do you impact others? How are the energies of others
uplifted because you are here? Are there more ways you can respond to
others in your thinking, acting, and speaking?
This is an exciting time. There has never been this many souls growing
this rapidly in the history of the earth. There has never been this
much spiritual information available to anyone through books,
magazines, tapes, CD's, videos, teachers, personal coaches, and
spiritual groups. There are so many opportunities to learn, grow, and
assist others.
Your contribution to the well being of all is a part of your purpose
in being here. Whether you are a public speaker or a house painter,
you touch the lives of others in meaningful and important ways. Every
thought you offer either adds to well being or takes away from it. As
you increase your time spent in well beingness you create change. As
you and others spend more time in higher energy thin king and being,
you make it easier for all of us to do the same.
Most of us who are consciously growing spiritually have some tough
moments and some difficult days. It can be difficult to see yourself
as a light worker when your own well being seems threatened. In these
instances it would be helpful to remember the following:
. There is no outside threat. All threats come from within--from the
meaning we attach to outside events.
. There is only one Power and you can access it within you. Turn
within and ask for help. Pray for help. Ask for guidance and then listen.
. Your mind has 50,000 or more thoughts per day. If you choose to
direct a few thousand of those thoughts lovingly toward your vision,
you will create it. An excellent metaphor for this comes from a book
called Personal Power and Awareness, by Sanaya Roman. "Think of a box
which represents what you want. Every time you think [appreciatively]
about what you want, the box becomes fuller, and when the critical
mass is reached, the box becomes reality. If there is something you
think of [appreciatively] over and over, at a certain point it will
manifest; how long it takes is based on how much you believe it will
come."
. Often people want to believe, but find they can't. This is not a bad
thing. You might pray: "Lord, help me with my unbelief." However, it
may be better to honor your lack of belief by finding out what is
behind it. Go within and ask for insight on why you are not believing.
You may find answers that you do not expect. You cannot force yourself
to believe. The harder you push on your unbelief, the harder it will
push back. Accept your unbelief and seek first to understand it. It
may have something important to teach you.
. Monitor your emotions. Your emotions indicate where your energy is
flowing. If you feel bad, your thoughts and feelings are moving away
from your vision at that moment. If you are feeling good, you are
pr obably moving toward your vision at that moment. Your body will tell
you how you are doing.
. Send love to others. Speak positively to and about others. Sincerely
compliment people often. Respond to the needs of others. The most
important need most people carry is this: "Treat me as if I am
important. Acknowledge me. Respect me. Care about me." This will lift
your energy and theirs.
. Don't be shy about praying for help. Help is always available. When
human help is offered, accept it graciously. When you allow others to
help and support you, you honor them and yourself.
. Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want. Your focus
determines where your energy flows. Focusing on problems, worrying,
doubt, and being a victim creates more problems. There are no problems
in this present moment. There are things you can do something about
and things you can't. Do what you can. Accept what you cannot change.
Focus your energy on solutions. Focus on what you want to have
happen--a peaceful resolution, a win-win opportunity, the highest good
for all concerned. Each time the problem begins to concern you, shift
your focus to the solution. The Source within you is your solution.
Embrace the ambiguity. Be at peace with it. You don't have to know how
it will all work out. Just know that it will work out. Pay attention
to possible ideas for what you can do.
. Live these ideas. Your example will teach others.
. Define your spiritual path and walk it. Do not use it as a weapon
against others, but as a means to discipline your own thinking. If you
see your path as "the only way", know that it is the only way for you.
Others must choose their own paths. Honor them.
. You are not changing the world; you are changing the way you think
about the world. See yourself and others as perfect expressions of
God. Where there is poverty, see prosperity. Where there is struggle;
see ease. Where there is fear; see love. No dou bt people will do
things that irritate you. Your irritation can be transformed to
appreciation by knowing that all fearful acts are meaningless. Refuse
to attach meaning. Speak your truth from a place of deep love and
compassion. Forgive the one who has temporarily forgotten that he is a
spark of the Divine. Remember it for him. This is what it means to be
miracle minded.
You are a light to the world. You are a blessing to those who know
you. You are the answer to the prayers of many. You need not play
small. You are an expression of God, a spiritual being, a spark of the
Divine. As you move forward , know yourself to be prosperous and
powerful. You are a radiating center of Love and Light. Remind
yourself of this often. When you do, adjust your body language. Walk
like a spiritual giant. Carry yourself like a prosperous person. How
would you stand? How would you walk, if you knew yourself to be
prosperous? Meet and greet others as if you are a very important
person. Give them the same level of respect. Let your tone of voice
and your choice of words reflect your prosperous thoughts and feelings.
When you sit, sit like a prosperous person. When you converse with
others, speak from a point of view as one who is constantly well
provided for. This doesn't mean that you toss out affirmations and
little positive sayings to people who are experiencing difficulty. It
means that your demeanor is prosperous and secure. It means that you
may empathize, but you do not join them in their misery. You hold them
in the light. You see them as prosperous and well. You allow them this
moment of not knowing who they are, but you remember who they are.
The Ritz Carlton Hotel chain has a saying that guides all of their
employees. It is: "We are ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and
gentlemen." This beautiful saying at once lifts up the server and
those being served. Create a similar guideline for yourself. "I am a
powerful spiritu al being serving other powerful spiritual beings."
Keep reminding yourself of who you are in all that you do. This will
make you slow to anger, and quick to forgive. It will make you calm in
the midst of seeming trouble. It will make you clear and confident in
the midst of ambiguity. It will have you releasing fears and feeling
the strength of your love. It will have you being patient, rather than
anxious. Trust yourself. Trust the Creative Intelligence. All is well
in your life.

Shared with Love and Light,
I love this post Deb, completely sums up a lot about my thoughts lately. I have been trying very hard to keep the positive light around me, even in my despair. Perfect example I was driving thinking how horrible this holiday felt this year and then I started looking around and noticing all the lights put up. The lights reminded me to smile and take joy from them. They represented the hope that I needed at that moment. If I can shine brighter like the lights the darkness and troubles won't get to me as much. So thanks for the inspiration to stay positive even in the aspect of defeat. There is always something positive I can find in most situations, even if I have to change the way I am viewing everything. Now if we could help others around us remember to shine their lights. I'll keep working on it.
