Our Greatest Fear

Our Greatest 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 and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not 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 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.

If we all just got out of our own way, we would be unstoppable!  It's our fear that holds us back, plain and simple.  Take away the fear and you take away any self doubt with it.  It's time we all stop concentrating on why we can't do something and instead say why not me!  ~Mary

Be Responsible

You must take personal responsibility. 

You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, 

but you can change yourself. 

~Jim Rohn

Be Responsible
You, and solely you, are responsible for the energy your put out into the world.  The words you choose to say, your attitude towards others and they way you live your life are all a reflection of the energy you choose to exude.  If it's positive, then you will feel love and peace in all you do.  If it's negative, then you create chaos, drama and toxicity within yourself and your environment.  Other people are not responsible for that, only you are.  It's time to take ownership and stop pointing fingers at other people for your bad attitude, for your misfortunes and for your bad choices.  If you are blessed to take the next breath then in the same second you can also take responsibility and start to move forward in a more productive way.  It's time to take responsibility over your life.

Turn the Corner

There is no telling how many miles you will have to run 

while chasing a dream.

Turn the Corner
You have come to a place in your life where it's time to turn the corner.  By going completely in another direction you will change the trajectory of your life for the better.  If you continue to stay on the safe path, well you stop challenging yourself and without stretching your comfort zone you cannot grow.  Don't just peek around the corner, turn into it with excitement, enthusiasm and determination.  Don't second guess it and don't ask for permission to do it.  It's time to experience the next chapter of your life so go ahead and turn that corner.
