I found this several years ago and have found it to be true time and time again.
Thought I would share...
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 or fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a Child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shinking
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 others the permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Mmmmm . . . such a great excerpt. I have always loved it too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words and for checking in with us.
Saadly, I don't remember you (I'm bad at that), but I do remember stories and updates from Jaclyn and of course from Scott. They both think highly of you.
And as for Grandma -- I think the reason why she liked me is because I knew the real name for her signature pancakes -- Pannekoeken. I served my mission in The Netherlands.
