Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson
"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."
I absolutely love this post. I think that for a lot of us, we are just that, afraid to see what we are really capable of and afraid to take the steps to get there. I truly believe GOD made us to be fearless and great. Life is about discovery, every day. The more we search, we'll find that inherent greatness GOD gave us.
ReplyDeleteLove this post...We all have a higher power within us that scares us at times (In the Bible, this is the holy spirit of God). There is no need to be scared of accessing this power. It is actually an advocate for us there for the taking. However, we have to make that choice.
