Courage

Inspirational!!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond our 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 we not to be?
You are a child of God, your playing small does not serve the world, there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are meant to shine as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within 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


How many times have we doubted ourselves - that we're not smart enough, interesting enough, good enough. How many times have we decided not to stand out - To keep quiet when you know the answer, to dress down to blend in, to do nothing when presented with opportunities. Why do we do it. Why not take the courage to do something outstanding, to shine, to fulfill our destiny.

The realism of it all makes it inspirational don't you think. How simple he depicts life and how we should understand and believe that our presence is significant and we should make every opportunity ours. Very nice quote. Kudos to you!
