Shine Your Light Without Fear of Judgment

Sep 22, 2025

The most loving people in this universe are not judging you. They are way too busy loving themselves, creating things, and shining their light in the only way that they can in this world.

If you are afraid of creating, of showing up, of being you, of going after your dreams, of embracing your passions because you are afraid of judgment, remember this: other people's judgments are a direct reflection of the ways that they feel about themselves—their traumas, their inhibitions, their unmet needs, their unmet dreams.

Imagine if we are basing our shining of our light—our divine light that only we can shine in this world—on somebody else's perception and projection that isn't even truly theirs.

So I'm inviting you, in this moment, to step into whatever it is that you choose to step into.

Caring about what other people think is overrated.

What matters is caring about how you feel—not the traumatized you, not the limited you, not the inner child you, but the divine soul that you are. Care about how you feel about yourself.

I'm remembering that when you plug into God, when you plug into the source of all things, you are in soul alignment.

So create like your life depends on it, because it does. Shine like your life depends on it. Be alive like your life depends on it.

The only thing that's guaranteed is that we're all going to die one day, and we don't know when.

Shine your light. Be yourself. We don't have time for fear of judgment.
