“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...
Marianne Williamson

I've read this many times over the years... It helped me to recognize my fears. Not just
fear of failure, but fear of success. This comes from unworthiness...being afraid others wouldn't like
me...having been taught in childhood that feeling good about yourself was bragging...something to be ashamed of... so I kept quiet about my achievements...let others shine
brighter. I've been working on this for awhile with success. I still have more work to do but I have finally given up settling for living
small.
We all have the potential to do great things; God doesn't play favorites. But we have to
believe in ourselves first...
