Our Greatest Fear
by
Marianne Williamson
"It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
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."
I love this quote and thought it would be a wonderful way to start this blog, since its content is so dear to my heart and to what I do for a living. For several years I have felt compelled to share my journey through a blog, but have never followed through due to fear. Today, I am ready to live my light and to share what I learn on my journey through 2013. It is my deepest wish that this blog may be of benefit to others on their journey. Peace, love and light to all.
Beautiful way to start your blog, indeed, and beautiful way to start the new year. I intent to play it big, to play it talented and to play it true to myself. And I know you are the perfect guide! Thank you Bettina!
