We wish you the very best in 2012. This is your year to do something significant for yourself, your family, your organization and your community. Get on with it.
We would like to offer
you the following gift:
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 and 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 will not feel insecure around you.
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 unconsciously
give other people permission to be the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence
automatically liberates others.
