Something to think about……
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 doesn’t serve the world.
There
is 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 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.
