Go Light Up the World

People say fear is a choice.

Well, so is ignorance. Stupid is a choice.

Being less than yourself is a choice. So is unkindness.

• Dumbing yourself down for others is a choice. And a poor one, at that

• Lifting less weight because you're scared of being strong.

• Snarky gossip.

All choices.

Keeping your mouth shut when you really want to stand up and take on the forces of hate in this world? That's a choice too.

But you know what?

We spend far too much time being good girls and far too little time being badass bitches.

Imagine what your life would be like if you said every morning, "Hey World, here's who I am. Time to get shit done."

Hide your light under a basket? No.

Smash that basket. Blind the crowd with your light.

Even the Bible says "Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house."

Stop hiding.

Go light up the house ... and then the entire world.
