For when you feel down...

I just found something very interestiong a friend of mine posted today.

The following text is an inspiring quote by Marianne Williamson from her book,
A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles,

My deepest fear is not that I am inadequate.
My deepest fear is that I am powerful beyond measure.
It is my light, not my darkness that most frightens me.

I ask myself, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who am I not to be?

I am a child of God. My playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around me

I am meant to shine, as children do.
I was born to make manifest the glory of God that is within me.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as I let my own light shine, I unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As I am liberated from my own fear, my presence automatically liberates others.

... for every light that shines brightly, another path is lit, for every tunnel that we must go through, there is a light to meet us at the end, the more we allow others to believe, to shine brightly in this world, the more light there is for others to see the paths they journey on, the more lights to greet them at the end of every tunnel.
Every person is a light waiting to be lit brightly so one day, we may all live in brightness and peace, in joy and in pride for ourselves and each other.
