This is a truly inspirational poem I have come to read, and is also quoted in Nelson Mandela's inaugral speech I read somewhere......
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’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, As children 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’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others......
How true and inspiring....... So lets live our deepest fears......!!
I hate having to earn money, but I like knowing what makes me valuable
-
The only way I find out what people value most about me is by having to
sell something. Otherwise I’m just guessing. And I pretty much always guess
wrong...
