Are you shining today?
Good. Marianne Williamson would be proud, ‘cause:
"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 are all meant to shine, as children do. We are 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."
(Yes, that quote is from Marianne Williamson—NOT Nelson Mandela. Although Mandela has done a lot of amazing things, coming up with that thought is not one of em…that quote is from Williamson’s great book, Return to Love…)
…Now get out there and shine!!

To be thrown upon one's own resources, is to be cast into the very lap of fortune; for our faculties then undergo a development and display an energy of which they were previously unsusceptible.

“Hi Brian ~ Thought I'd drop you a note to let you know I continue to enjoy the daily quotes. Today really hit home as I'm in the process of self-imposed change. Dang it's uncomfortable and scary. Glad to know others are uncomfortably changing too. You're doing a great job!”
