A Quote by Marianne Williamson on fear, courage, liberation, community, and a course in miracles

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, 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 we do. 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.

My greatest joy is that we are everything
and that we are free and expansive with total abundance.
It is our light, The light that lets us laugh.

We say to ourselves “i am brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous”

Exactlly, I am.

I am.

Playing big serves all.
Expanding is enlightenment.
Others are me, i am others, …we dance.

We are born and reborn to make manifest the glory of God
it is in us all, we are the waves that are the ocean of God
and as we let this light shine
we give to all as others give to all

as we are free
we are
freely joyously, expansively IT.

I think that, that beautiful quote was made for me-sometimes I fear my own power and potential. What a great encouragement that was! Thank You.
