“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 born to make manifest the glory of God that is within, it’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our 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.” Both Nelson Mandela and Marianne Williamson are given credit for this beautiful thought
“We must become the change we seek.” Mahatma Gandhi
“. . . more succinctly, the important achievement for you to understand is life is but the attitude you have toward living it and this attitude is a reflection of your intentions, thoughts, values, and experiences. Furthermore, we are each totally responsible for our attitude and conduct and the consequences of the same. Thus, to be transformed is to change one’s innermost attitudes.” Dr. John, 1972
“My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was a historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.” Carl Jung
