I know, I know…everyone throws quotes up on their site that are supposed to be heartening or empowering and when you are traversing the blogosphere, in particular, looking for information the last thing you probably want to see is a quote that has absolutely nothing to do with the blog topic and theme.
However, in honor of the long Memorial Day weekend and because it's Friday and because, well, I just want to share the love. Here's something to remember…
“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 doesn’t 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 the way 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.”
- Nelson Mandela
