So many of us are looking for role models or someone to follow because we don't want to appear different. This works for some people, but for others, not so much. As you travel through this world, don't deny your right to be who you are. Sometimes, this is frightening since most people rarely expose their weaknesses or vulnerabilities. Six points to keep in mind:

• You can't hide a source of power, so embrace yours while appreciating the gifts of others. 

• You are endowed with unique abilities yet to be discovered, so embrace the light that shines within you and make it bright enough to share. 

• Don't be afraid of your brilliance nor be ashamed of your blunders or whatever you feel are imperfections here on Planet Earth. If you sometimes feel like a Vulcan or someone from an alien planet, just remember that you are a child of the universe and you have a right to be you.

• There will be times when you won't fly, so be prepared to walk. There is merit in walking among diverse populations who share different perspectives. Imagine the surprises you might find learning to thrive outside of your comfort zone.

• Live with integrity. Do not forget to walk in your own light, even if you are denied access or even if you must overcome challenges before being placed on a long waiting list, and even if you have to fight for your right to be human and different and beautiful.

• Listen well. Use your keen sense of hearing and learn to anticipate obstacles. By listening to yourself and others, you will also avoid arrogance and self-centeredness, which create negative energy and responses.

You don't need the limelight of others to carve your identity. Your power lies in your ability to accept who you are and to walk that very thin line between humanity and spirituality. Life itself, might be your greatest challenge, but you were born with a purpose and with the innate ability to fly above the mundane when necessary, so as to achieve your mission in life.
