Small and Mighty

Are you feeling like your New Year resolutions are too big? That you are not up to the task, and maybe feeling defeated before you start?  The bible says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. It’s important to understand and know that despite feeling or being small, you can move mountains, you are powerful.

Acorn seeds grow into oak trees. Something the size of a half dollar grows to an average of 70 feet tall with a branch span of 150 feet. This fact is a message for you straight from God/Spirt/ Universe. He speaks to us in a million different ways. Starting off small does not prevent you from having a massive impact in the world. Now is the time for each of us to step into who we really are - the oak tree in the acorn, having the power of a mustard seed to move mountains.

I’m in my 60s. My days are numbered. I’m feeling pulled to grow and accept who I truly am, to be that oak tree now, in this moment. I’m feeling the necessity to STOP degrading myself and my efforts, and to instead, own my accomplishments, to play big. We are each being called to own our greatness and acknowledge and share our light; to stop focusing on smallness and BE the powerful beings we are.  Marianne Williamson expresses it perfectly in this quote from her book Return to Love.

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.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Let’s tap into our greatness, and be a powerful force for good. The world needs you!
