Our Deepest Fear

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 is not just in some of us;
it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciouslygive other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

It's all in Your Mind

"I've had thousands of problems, most of which never happened." -Mark Twain

"Whether you believe you can or you can't, you are right" -Henry Ford

“Whatever you hold in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work, all you have to do is change your mind.” (dont know who. If you know, please let me know so I can give due credit)


"A wise man changes his mind, a fool never” -A Spanish Proverb

"A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.” - Gandhi

"All paid jobs absorb and degrade the mind.” - Aristotle
