FEAR THIS
16 years ago
Thought I'd share what is probably my all time fav quote
"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's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make and 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."
-Marianne Williamson
from her book “A Return To Love

I'm not religious, so I'm not into the whole God part, but I can respect it and that view.
Everyone has the potential to be great, but no one wants to put their foot forward and take one that roll, even though I can be filled by anyone, and however many. Shine because you can, quite simply.
But yeah, live life to the fullest of your potential, no matter what you believe.
It's just one of those quotes that rings true, no matter you're religion.. you can change out child of god for part of humanity, and it's still works
