Fear or Faith

This is a quote from Marianne Williamson that was used by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech.

"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."

Reckon that's all a bit provocative - in a good way. Even outside the Goddy stuff, I've got several freinds that I know are frigthened by success - or rather the implications associated with it.

Well, I'm gonna embrace every promise that's mine and give God the glory!
