Thought for the day

Just a little reminder to make the most of each day and be the best person you can be:


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

Ok, jane i had to re-read this a few times to totally understand in detail. I LOVE IT! So, basically we have permission to shine, be ourselves, maybe even live out some of dreams. THANK YOU!!! X X

Glad you liked it trouble. I think it doesn't only give you permission to shine, it is telling you that you have a responsibility to do it. Enjoy shining..
