I just came across these words the other day, that I would like to share with you. ~Marianne Williamson.
“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, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are
all meant to shine, as children do. 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.”

ReplyDeleteHow neat! I think this is my favorite part: "And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
