I just had to put this up… very inspirational.
My biggest fear would probably be: I am always alone, no one needs me, no one sees me. I have to be extraordinarily kind to make up for my hidden guilt and darkness, in order for people to want to be around me. Because I need people. Do they need me, too? Can I afford to not go out of my way in terms of kindness?
“Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness that scares us the most.
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 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.”

I absolutely love this quote by her; my deepest fear has been in the past of being forgotten. I seem to be able to feel less like that in my present day, but it has been a long journey so far……. thank you for being who you are…….
