"Think back over the times you have attempted to take a big step into new territory. When your fear increased the further you moved toward the unkown, did you begin to doubt the wisdom of your plan? To wonder if your fear might be a message from God that you were off course? ......God rarely makes our fear disappear. Instead, He asks us to be strong and take courage..... What is courage? Courage is not the absence of fear, rather it's choosing to act in spite of the fear" ~ Bruce Wilkinson in "The Dream Giver"One of the Greatest speech's Ever: Nelson Mandela's Inaugural speech, 1994
"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 doesn't serve the world! Theres nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; its 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."
