One of these days I'm going to take the time to write at length about self-sabotage and fear of success. (Something that my closest friends and loved one would be shocked to discover I know a LOT about.) Right now, I will share with you a quote that keeps me on the right path when I wander left.
OUR DEEPEST FEAR
by Marianne Williamson from "A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles"
"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."
Go forth and be fabulous. Naturally.
Ciao.
