"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.”
So I guess what I would say to you readers... Don't hide who you are, because there is someone out there that desperately needs YOU to help unlock their insecurities or who they are. There's a certain comfort level that people have around those who are true to themselves... If you ever watch people, which I do sometimes- you will notice that those who are happy on the inside AND out are the ones that are True Blue and they tend to have friends like themselves.
There is only one ___(your name)____! So BE YOURSELF and "as we let our light shine, we unconciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our prescence automatically LIBERATES others." So do something that normally would be out of your comfort zone... see what happens. I'll be writing about what I did this week... I hope to hear some stories of what you did!
I LOVE that quote. always and forever.
