Are You Hiding Your Magic?
"Do the earth a favor, don't hide your magic" -Yung Pubelo
I was four years old the first time I remember trying to hide myself from others. We were visiting a different local church and my mother had dressed me in what I deemed to be a hideous outfit. There were lots of kids playing outside but i refused to get out of the car because people would see me looking dumb. So my parents did what any parent would do in 1986 and left me in the car alone to wallow in my embarrassment. I laid on the floorboard of our station wagon listening to the other kids laugh and play. I could hear the kids ask my whereabouts and then peer into the car window. The most beautiful girl opened the door and pulled me out of my self-inflicted misery. l remember it going on to be a magical afternoon and I felt silly for wasting so much time hiding myself.
Everyone in life possesses unique gifts, their own special magic. But sadly more often than not we don't see it or trust the magic. We are fearful of stepping into our own hidden power. We wait for perfection, for the right moment, or until we feel worthy enough to show ourselves to the world. But the day never comes if we are always standing in our own way.
Finding your own magic in life is an extraordinary journey that unveils the hidden depths of your being. The journey begins with a pursuit to discover your passions, aspirations, and the unique gifts that make you who you are.
Embrace curiosity and open your heart to the world around you. Explore various interests, try new experiences, and step out of your comfort zone. It is through these endeavors that you may stumble upon unexpected joys and talents.
Remember, finding your magic requires patience and self-reflection. It is not a destination but an ongoing journey of self discovery. Once you start to see the magic in yourself, which you will, play with it without delay. As you play with it you will gain confidence and become an expert in that magic. It will grow and so will you. By hiding, you are doing an injustice not just to yourself but to the Universe.
So move forward, with an open heart and adventurous spirit. Seek your passions, follow your intuition, and believe in the magic that lies within you. Embrace the enchantment of life and let it guide you to a place where you are fully aligned with your purpose, where your magic dances and illuminates the world around you.
