Rev. Mark Gilbert
Rev. Mark Gilbert shared his thoughts on “Stepping Into the Light.”
We are each blessed with a bright light, so why not radiate our special brilliance at its fullest? We get to decide if we live fully out loud or hide our light.
We have to show up and engage in order to participate. What role are we playing? Can we make our performance genuine, honest, and authentic, or is it all for show because we’re filming? If we don’t take center stage and be the star of our own performance, then we give silent permission for others to decide the details of our film and the destiny of our life. Some want to live in the dress rehearsal without moving on to the real thing because we’re afraid of messing up, drawing too much attention, or being bold and living out loud.
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. – Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love
