Be safe enough to shine your own light
Many people believe that being invisible is a life strategy that will keep them safe.
Hi friends, this week’s topic is one close to my own heart, one that feels deep and personal: how to step up, grow and be seen? Read my thoughts in this week’s article.

Hiding won’t help you get what you want
Hiding is a tactic, whether conscious or not, that prevents you from being seen.
Many people believe that being invisible is a life strategy that will keep them safe.
They believe that if they show who they really are, and shine their light, unpleasant things will happen to them.
If they dare to venture outside of the well known and secure life they have constructed around themselves, unknown bad things will show up, which is different from all the “known” bad things they see on TV and in the news, everyday. The fear of what might happen if they are seen keeps many people hidden, afraid to step out and reach for what they really want. They don’t know how to be seen and be safe. They choose to stay small, for fear of being hurt.
Sometimes it isn’t the fear of their own light that holds them back, but the fears of other people in the group.
We each belong to many groups, and have since birth. Some groups support us and allow us the freedom to be who we are, awhile others expect and demand conformity. The conformist group mentality works like this: everyone agrees on certain conditions and rules for the group, sometimes unconsciously. If one member of the group decides to create something for themselves outside of the agreed upon rules, the group judges, gets angry, and sometimes tries to pull that person back.
Some of the judgment sounds like invalidation, “Why would you succeed at that when so many others have failed? You should get realistic and get a steady job or a real career. Only one in a million can succeed like that, get real!”, and so on. Ouch.
You don’t have to want to be a movie star or the next big musical sensation. But you do have your own pictures of how you want to create your reality for yourself. Maybe your reality looks a bit more like this: you want to devote your time to doing what has meaning for you, rather than getting a job you dislike just so that you can afford to have the life “everyone” is supposed to have and want.
You may not even know just what it is you want to do. Perhaps you spent your whole life doing one thing, it was good, but its time is over. Maybe you did that thing in order to get to this place, where you’re ready to take bigger risks and be seen.
If you want to create success for yourself, your business, creations, and other offerings, hiding doesn’t work.
In order to attract what it is you want, you’ll need to step out of the shadows at some point and let others notice you. What’s more, you’ll have to say, “here I am!”. It takes a certain ownership of yourself, along with feeling safe enough to be seen, in order to stand out in the crowd.
Some species of insects, animals, and plants survive by blending into their environment. The idea is that if they don’t stand out too much, nobody will notice them or try to eat or otherwise interfere with them. They hide, in plain view, by matching to their surroundings. There are also those colorful species that are not afraid to be seen, and in fact welcome being noticed; peacocks, flamingos, parrots, zebras, and Lady Gaga, to name a few.
It’s somewhat dangerous to be seen, to create a higher profile than the one you had before.
What happens when you stand out is that people notice you. You’re not blending in anymore, it’s time to be seen. This could be exactly what you wanted to begin with, but you may not have been aware of what happens when those attention points show up. Your success arrives, sometimes bringing a bit of criticism, jealousy, and judgment in its wake.
You can learn how to protect yourself so that you feel safe with the new energies. Before you were being seen, those attention points didn’t stick. You may have been fine with that, because you weren’t ready to be seen yet. The trick is handling all of those attention points you have manifested, and having the ability to release the less pleasant energies that come along for the ride.
What do you do to stay well and safe, while still being seen?
When you are ready to grow and take steps towards what you want, you don’t have to wait for everyone else to be ready before you take action. If it feels overwhelming and you’re not sure what to do first, my suggestion is to always start within.
Get new tools to help you, be honest with yourself about whether your current practices are working or not. Who in your life builds you up? Those are the people to share your new ideas with. If you find yourself on the defense against anyone else’s judgment or criticism, learn how to let that go. If someone else is judging you, that’s not your problem, it’s theirs.
The most important thing you can do is to know yourself, and love what you know. You don’t have to be perfect, or defend yourself for being you. The better you know and love yourself, the more grounded you can be. This helps you to access a deeper level of self trust, which is one of your greatest allies.
