A Blessing to Share

 A few years ago when I finished Personal Best Three, I gave this to all the participants as a gift along with a personal letter.

I have never forgotten the words, but I did forget the message for a while. I thought I would share it with all of you because it is a really beautiful message. 
"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." 
 Marianne Williamson
May I finally learn to walk this talk.
