Let YOUR Light Shine!

“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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 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 all of us. And when 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.”


Nelson Mandela
 
Do you ever wonder what drives great men and women to achieve their success?  I've thought about it, a lot.  Some people say FEAR is the greatest motivator.  I don't think so. Do you?  I think it's the ability to overcome fear; fear of the unknown or the fear of success that drives great men and women to success.  Join me in abandonding fear in life. Let YOUR light shine.  Celebrate YOUR beauty.  Besides, what's there to be afraid of anyway?
 
Until next time...
