Think of yourself as a lamp. Your personality is the lamp shade. The real you is the light that resides beneath the layers of your conditioning. Your light gets obscured when your shade is thickened by shame and insecurity. Fortunately with persistence, you can undo the mistaken notions you’ve absorbed about yourself and modify your shade. Begin by realizing you are not, and have never been, the identity on the outside. You are the light on the inside… 

Shine that baby!
