A ritual to embody his message
Light a candle and sit before it. Whisper: “I carry the fire of my calling.” Imagine the flame extending beyond you, igniting sparks in those around you. See yourself as both guided and guiding, carrying light that illuminates a path for others.
When the candle burns down, keep the melted wax or stub as a reminder that your vocation is not only yours but part of a larger flame.
Repeat this ritual whenever you need courage to embody your role as leader of your own destiny.
