Deepest Fear

I post this poem because it is a reminder of who WE SHOULD BE-not who someone else wants us to become or what is easy, but actually following what is inside you. Too often we are swayed by what seems conventional, that we forget to realize the inner talents and strengths that we have been blessed with.
I need to remind myself of this daily.
I share this quote/poem because sometimes our purpose and mission in life is lost, and a reminder is all that we need to get us back in line.

Our biggest 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, or fabulous?

Actually, who are you NOT to be?You are a child of God.You 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 manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in every one of us. And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear of our own excellence,our presence automatically liberates others. And excellence becomes the standard of all our lives. -Marianne Williamson
