you are the light


“You are the light.
It’s not on you.
It’s in you.
Don’t ever you in your life, dim your light for nobody.”

Tyler, the Creator’s new album starts with this message from his mother, who acts as his guide throughout the album.

It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here.

We just need to find it within and let it shine.

Most people will sit on it telling their Self they’ll do it later.Most people will think of all the reasons it won’t work.Most people will never take action. In The Creative Act, Rick Rubin explains that ideas will move on to someone else if action is not taken—this is why you see someone having success with an idea you had. The idea came to you, you weren’t ready to...
