Our Deepest fear.................

I discovered the book, 'A Return to Love,' by Marianne Williamson, shortly after its release and it literally turned my life inside-out.  It was a clear, simplified reminder to me of all the truths which I had somehow unlearned along the way, due to ego and the world.  Below is one of my favorite quotations from the book.  If you like the paragraph, you'll no doubt, love the book..  May you return to your original state of being....May you 'return to love' on your journey. Blessings!

“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.” -- Marianne Williamson, 'A Return to Love'
