NUGGET
OF WISDOM
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.

You are very right Collette. It is something that is unconciously taught to us as we grow out of childhood and it sticks. Our society aims to trim us all to the same size tree yet we are all different. The differences can move us to greater heights but because of years of mediocre thinking, denies us this magnificence. Well it will have to start with us to teach our children to shine as bright as they can, giving the very best that they can and us telling ourselves to do the same since we know the truth
