Our Deepest Fear

"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 "Love". 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 "Love" 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

Note: Marianne Williamson uses the word "God" where I have inserted "Love". I chose to do this out of respect for tolerance and diversity for all beliefs. Let us be "Frank"... Love is a Universal Language. And if "Frank" was a real human being... he would so be my friend. Notice that when the word "so" is inserted into a sentence it makes it more intense. Seriously! Playfully shared with a smirk on my face.
