Our Deepest Fear...

Some people just have a way with words. Here are a few words of wisdom from 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 enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. 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.

~ In every community, there is work to be done. In every nation, there are wounds to heal. In every heart, there is the power to do it.

~ Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

~ The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.

~ Love is what we were born with. Fear is what we learned here.

~ Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.

~ We can always choose to perceive things differently. You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right.
