A few thoughts

I recently received an email that had some pretty amazing quotes in it. What I love about quotes is that every time I read them I seem to take something else from them. It can be the same thought; but read a year later can have a slightly different meaning. I figured I would share one with you. Maybe it will say something, maybe it won't...but here it is:

Light

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 the Earth.
Your playing small doesn't 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 that is within us.
It's not 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 automaticaly liberates others.
