Eric found this quote the other day. Thought it was worth sharing!
It is a quote by Marianne Williamson used by Nelson Mandela in his 1992 inaugural address:
“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 will not 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 unconciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Now, if that doesn’t make you stand up a little taller and walk with a bit more purpose, nothing will!
Good stuff!!!!
