| 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 back so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. You were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others. |
| The man whispered “God speak to me” And a meadowlark sang But the man did not hear. So the man yelled “God speak to me” And the thunder rolled across the sky But the man did not listen. The man looked around and said: “God! Let me see you!” And a star shined brightly But the man did not notice. And the man shouted “God, show me a miracle!” And a life was born. But the man did not know. So the man cried out in despair: “Touch me God and let me know you are here!” Where upon, God reached down and touched the man. But the man brushed the butterfly away and walked on. Don’t miss a blessing because it isn’t package the way you expect. |
| I remember hearing songs about Nelson Mandela saying how a great warrior he is. And one day, I had the chance to hear his complete story and since then, he always have been a great inspiration. Here are only a few sentences that I read many many times. When I read it the first time, it made me realize how much I don't focus in that kind of things. |
