A Poem of wisdom
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to
draw back.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
Attributed to Goethe and W.H. Murray
Our Greatest Fear
It is our light not our
darkness that most frightens us.
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 does not 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.
—Marianne Williamson
