On the world-changing power of simply being you...

On this inauguration day, I am moved by the beauty of the myriad faces and incredible energy I see in Washington. In my lifetime, I never thought - I never dreamed - that this moment would come. I wasn't sure we were ready; I wasn't sure that the right time and place and energy would come together to make this incredible moment happen.
And yet, it has.
And I am struck by the lesson inherent in this day - or, perhaps, more correctly, one lesson within a rainbow of lessons - and that is, the simple power of doing exactly what you were meant to do in this world.
Looking at President-Elect Barak Obama, does anyone have a doubt that he was meant for this moment? That, from birth, he was INTENDED to lead?
It is hard to imagine a person MORE intended to be exactly who and where he is right now.
Of course, the truth is that ALL of us are intended to be something special - to contribute our special energy to the world in a way that is needed and that makes the world a better place. Maybe we are not all meant to be President, but we might be intended to be the best mom, the most incredible counselor, the perfect accountant, or the top cleaning person ever (or anything else YOUR soul calls to you to do!).
Yet, we may hear the calling in our souls of what we are intended to be - but we might doubt it. We might let other's opinions get in our way - or simply in our minds, which is worse. We might put ourselves down as not good enough, or just as being a "dreamer" - a person who imagines things that can never be.
None of it is true. When we get in our own way - when we choose to not believe in our own inner callings to live a certain kind of life in a certain kind of way, when we question our ability to put our energy forward in a way that is good and powerful, we rob the world of the power - the world-changing power - of who we are.
What if Barak Obama had been afraid to step forward and claim his truth?
We all know that the world would have missed out on a great, powerful change.
What if you choose to not live YOUR truth?
It is no less significant a loss.
Today, be inspired to BE exactly who you were intended to be. Choose to believe in the beauty and power in your soul - in the unique energy that you - JUST YOU! - are called to manifest in this world.
By simply and powerfully living your truth, you change the world. Answer that calling with confidence, and BE that change right now.

I knew from the moment that I first heard him speak - one day, Barack Obama would be the president of this country. Thank goodness that today is the day! We finally have a truly GOOD MAN at the helm. Now, we just all need to step up and shoulder our responsibilities, to make this dream come true!
You are so right, Hillora - we do finally have a truly good man in office. You can see it in his eyes and in the way that he looks at his girls. You can hear it in his voice when he speaks. You can see it in the authentic way that he greets others. Most of all, you can see it in his ideals.
I am so glad that he chose to live his life purpose in this way - we are all the beneficiaries!!
Much love,
Tara :o)
YES, YES, YES!
At the same time he was swearing in the oath, I was vowing to be who I Came to be. I had a powerful coaching session just this past week and one where my SOUL Broke through of the small cage I had been trying to put it in…now I am free to be me, and that is sooo liberating, it is what I want to do for the people that I work with too.
In light, Michelle
Michelle!
Isn’t it cool that a really high-frequency collective experience can actually unleash our own inner wisdom, our own inner belief.
It is pretty incredible!
Much love,
Tara
