Our Deepest fear,,, a quote

[cydkitty]

"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 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'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; its 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

I have heard this before and have always loved it. I think sometimes succeeding is as scary as failing, but being in the presence of someone who embodies life in a way that glorifies all of the gifts that they have received is a gift in and of itself. I want to become that kind of person. Someone not afraid, or too tired to be fabulous.
