Who me?

Here is a quote I would love for you to ready and then think about for a few minutes... I recently read this and was amazed at how this impacted me.

“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 won't 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 unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
~ Marianne Williamson


Ok, so I don't know about you, but this did something pretty amazing to me. I felt as if it was giving me permission to become all that God wants me to become. To take a few risks, to be willing to jump when God says jump and not even think about how it will impact me or others. Wow! don't you just LOVE how this makes you feel?

Let me know your thoughts... Did it have the same kind of effect on you as it did me?
