Day 700 (Day 3 of 30) - Stepping into the Leading Role of my Life
Continuing from yesterday's blog and continuing to open up about how I've defined/lived the word STAR up to now in my life and how I can redefine it into a practical living application (becoming the living word STAR).
So yesterday seeing clearly how I've defined it and another layer after I wrote the blog was the word "important" - being a star is to be important, crucial, the main event if you will.
Okay so now I am going to look at the actual definition/etymology of the word to get some more insights into the reality of the word.
Lots of definitions here:
- 1.
- 2.a conventional or stylized representation of a star, typically one having five or more points."the walls were painted with silver moons and stars"
verb
- 1.(of a movie, play, or other show) have (someone) as a principal performer."a film starring Liza Minnelli"
- 2.decorate or cover with star-shaped marks or objects."thick grass starred with flowers"
With all these ways in which to define the word nothing really stood out to me that was quite clear except for essentially becoming the star of your life.
We are all the center point or "star" of our lives because our lives and our experiences come from ourselves. We are responsible for who we are in our life, how we experience life and thus what happens - no one else has any control over that and so we are the stars.
Are we stars of our life that shine brightly and boldly, steadily, and with confidence? Or is our light dim and just a whisp of who we truly are? Do we shine equally for all, or does our expression/light change according to who sees us?
So I can see for myself how I would like to live this word in my life going forward - becoming the star of this show that is my life, wherein I am the most important person/role in my life because I am the one determining it all. Am I actually living up to the role I have and letting my unique skills, capabilities, and gifts be expressed or am I still trying to hide in the background of my life, waiting for someone or something to move, waiting on the world to change, waiting on permission to live, waiting on someone else to do something about that thing I want to be changed....
To me, it seems the most practical way for me to live this word is actually based on how I did define it somewhat initially yet removing the positive charge associated with it. I am not a star to be liked or to get attention, validation, or recognition but rather because it's who I really am. I am a light/life force that is unique in all of existence (like all are) and I have a very unique and special signature about me (like all do) so I must ensure I am expressing myself to my utmost ability as the more I do, the more brightly I shine and the more visible I become to show how we can, in fact, live something of real worth, integrity and that we can, in fact, become empowered and transform ourselves and stand as the true creators of our life that we are.
I am going to let this all stew for now and see what else opens up. I am glad to have gotten this blog done but I have a little baby who keeps waking up wanting me close to her so will keep this short for now.
Till tomorrow.
