Set The World on Fire
"If you are what you should be, you will set the whole world on fire. Let the truth be your delight, proclaim it, but with a certain congeniality". What I like about this quote from St. Catherine of Siena is the gentle strength of the proclamation. She reminds of us all of our hidden talents, our undiscovered power, our vast potential that when tapped has the power to change the world.
By simply acknowledging that each of us is special, and that when we utilize and share our unique talents we tap into that potential that ignites a passion in us. We have that inner and outer glow that people can see in our eyes. She tells us that we can express and share our talents with a gentleness and kindness that opens a pathway to understanding. Let the beauty of your work, your talent, and skill be the expression of achievement and excellence.
We can express ourselves with grace, dignity, and congeniality like Jesus, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, and countless others. They all set the world on fire without firing a weapon or dropping a bomb. You know what special talent you have that is aching come out and be shared for all of our benefit. Bring it forth.
St. Catherine reminds us to, Do the thing, and it will give you power!
With Love,
