Faith instead of fear
I have put an excerpt from the book by Marianne Williamson. Somehow it was made famous by Nelson Mandela. I think they are powerful words and it gives me hope. I hope it does to you as well. More important, I hope it makes you do good things for you and for people around you.
"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 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
I had a great conversation last week. It was about living in a fear or choosing a faith instead. For me or most of the people the time or the economy is not the ideal one, so it's easy to get worried, start blaming or making excuses. The fact is it doesn't help. The only way to move on is to move on. It's about making those phone calls, choosing positivity, helping others, serving the world.
Don't look back, don't look ahead, see the opportunities you have today and make the most of them. Have a strong day!
Life is what you make of it.
