10.  The Light in all things

There is the Light in all things, even me.  I have faith in that even when it is very hard for me to feel the Light in me today.  I have to believe that it is there.  There's a quote and I don't remember who said it first, or even that I have it quoted exactly right, but it is:  It is not that we are afraid of failing, it is that we are afraid that we are powerful beyond measure.  As a kid when I would metaphorically ride the crest of a big wave of joy of life, it would be great and I would feel as if I'm soaring, and waves have to crash on the shore, that is life.  As a kid my shore was hard, sharp unforgiving rocks and cliffs.  Now as an adult, I am still afraid of riding that big wave even though I can see the shore now is a smooth gentle rise of sand.  I have more tools and abilities to keep myself safe when the wave crashes on the beach, I know I can ride it up shore.  I'm not going to crash on the rocks and cliffs, and yet that is what I am afraid of.  Love and Light.
