My deepest fear

"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 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 and 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
I really like that poem-ish thing by Marianne Williamson. I don't remember where I first heard it, but every time I read it I remember how much I like it. Sometimes we forget who we are. Sometimes we don't grasp what we mean to people. Sometimes we're afraid. Sometimes we fail to realize what really matters. I think everyone temporarily looses sight of the big picture. But that's okay, as long as they realize it and make the necessary changes to get back to who they want to be. Whoever that may be. We're all perfect in our own way. We need to not let anything or anyone hold us back from the true potential for greatness that lies within each of us.
We need to stand to make a difference, because let's face it, the world can be a scary place. We need to shoot for our dreams. Reach out to others, we're all in this together.
Even if at times we feel invisible.
