Challenge: Spread Light

4/17/2018

Hello there,
 
I hope you’re experiencing moments of peace on this day.
 
I have another community challenge for you. If you missed our last challenges you can click the “challenges” button on the side of the screen or visit the links below.

Challenge 1: Explore
Challenge 2: Create a Personal Brand
 
Your mission is simple: Spread light.
 
I ask you to try your best in becoming agents of light.
 
A few weeks ago someone asked me, “What stops you from saying something that might bless someone?” My answer was fear. I can be a very fearful person and what I’m learning is fear doesn’t have to hold power over me (replace fear with any emotion you’re experiencing and the same message applies).
 
I challenge you to consider what stops you from spreading light.
 
A lot of people are in darkness right now.
  • The people you run into at your favorite coffee shop
  • The person checking out your groceries at the store
  • The driver in the car next to you
  • Most importantly, young people in our community who may not be empowered with tools or knowledge to pull themselves back into the light
 
There are many ways to spread light and you needn’t be afraid of trying.
 
Spread whatever light you have in the darkness surrounding us all. When you light one candle using the wick of another you get two candles. It doesn’t take away; it only builds brighter. 
 
Thank you all for the many ways you contribute to the safety of our community.
 
Sending my best,
Christopher Belisle at SCTF

hanks for sharing the article, and more importantly, your personal experience of mindfully using our emotions as data about our inner state and knowing when it’s better to de-escalate by taking a time out are great tools. Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
