The following quote is one that sustains me in some of my most uncertain moments. Although it is often attributed to Nelson Mandela (the great), it is from a book written by Marianne Williamson What are some of the tried and true motivational words that help you get over? What are some of the passages that you turn to in times of self-doubt or in moments of turmoil? Hopefully, the following words will be added to your list of comforting phrases.
“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.”
Conquering fear is an important first step in making our dreams come true. I actually addressed this topic in a past blog post.
Here's to a Happy Day and hoping that you let the best of yourself shine today.
