who r we

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 frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented & fabulous?

Actually, who are we not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you.

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 fears,
our presence automatically liberates others.

why hesitate

i really like this one...

Why hesitate?
Upon the plains of hesitation are the
bleached bones of countless millions,
who on the threshold of victory sat down
to wait, and in waiting they died.

not you...

Let others lead small lives,
but not you

Let others argue over small things,
but not you

Let others cry over small hurts,
but not you

Let others leave their future in someone else's hands,
but not you.

- Jim Rohn
