COMING INTO YOUR OWN

Most of us have mentors in our lives who nurture us as we grow, igniting our passions and illuminating our capabilities as they share their wisdom in the form of knowledge.

There comes a point when we must step out of our mentor’s shadow, when we are ready to go out on our own. Courage and trust in ourselves give us the strength to take this important step, the step that lets us know we are capable of anything our intent is able to express.

But we always remember there is still more to learn. Everyone we come into contact with can teach us something. Everyone we meet is a personification of all the great masters - Jesus, Buddha, Moses, Krishna, Muhammad, and so on.

Practice

Follow you own compass today, being in the world with a willingness to learn. Remember that every person you meet is a representation of the Divine, a manifestation of the Authentic Self, and can teach you something. Some teach us what to do; others teach us what not to do.
