I AM RISING UP

The sun represents the divine masculine energy that rises up to start the day. It reminds us that there is a time to be active and a time to rest. Let the sun's fiery presence ignite your passion for living fully by letting your light shine.  

“Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, 'You owe me.' Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.”   ~ HĀFIZ

ACTION STEPS

Rise and shine! Each new day is a rebirth, and the rising sun is a daily reminder to rise up and shine your light. Even when a cloud of fear passes by and dims your light you can keep on shining knowing it will pass with the next loving thought. It's comforting to know that your light is always present. 

You can rise to a higher state of consciousness through meditation. Quieting the mind allows your true self to shine through and guide you on your journey through life. It can be a portal into the best day you can possibly imagine.

Rise up to a higher vibration. When you realize you're in a bad mood you can choose to feel better by having a better feeling thought. Look for something or someone in the present moment that you can appreciate and shine your light there to illuminate the goodness that you're seeing. 

Rise to face a challenge rather than denying that it exits. Think of a challenge as an opportunity to grow and become stronger rather than getting knocked down. Life is not about how many times you get knocked down; it's how many times you get back up that matters.

Failure comes from taking risks. Each time you choose to take a risk it's another chance to rise up to a higher level of success. There is usually no real success without some failure mixed in. 

Sunset is a great metaphor for settling down into a beautiful state of relaxation and rest at the end of the day. If the sun were shining brightly for twenty-four hours, we would miss the awesome experience of seeing it rise and set. Avoid burnout by giving yourself enough downtime.

When you observe a sunrise or sunset remember that you are solar powered, just like Mother Earth. You need the sun's warmth and light to survive the way others need your warmth and light to thrive. 

Love and light,
