Power Outage

So, I intended to post the second part of the Fear of Success post today, but our power just came back on. We've been off since 5am this morning in our entire neighborhood. We're back on now, but I don't have the time to type up the long post now, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

For the moment though, think about this quote:

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 does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. 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.
