“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.” -Nelson Mandela
I absolutely love this quote. It is so right! Who are we NOT to be wonderful people? So when someone makes you feel down or inadequate, remember this, You rock! I love empowering stuff! :o)
That is such and inspirational quote... it makes me want to step outside of my little box and be better some how!
ReplyDeleteI love this quote as well! It also holds deeper meaning for me because my brother printed it and gave it to me not long before he passed away. Keep up the good work on the blog! It's coming along great and I check everyday for new updates! :)
