Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others. —Marianne Williamson ------------------

That's one of those things that really hits home and leaves you with that empty feeling that there IS more inside one should be working with.....*slump*yes, I agree the bigger fear is that we are powerful..... IP: Logged |

The thing is that when we are so young adult people tell usyou can never be ..X..
you can never do ..X.. and it makes it into a prophecy that can take the rest of our life to undo. IP: Logged |
