Our Deepest Fear Is...

“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)


This is perhaps the most powerful quote
I have ever come across. I believe that
this is the number one reason why so
many people don't achieve their full
potential. We are deeply afraid of
the true power that we each posses.

Each and every one of us possesses an
inner greatness that is more powerful
than any of us can possibly imagine.
Many people will begin to tap into
this power and start to step into their
greatness, then they will do something
to self sabotage themselves. It may
not look like self sabotage, it may look
like "uncontrollable circumstances". I
guarantee you that we attracted those
so called "uncontrollable circumstances",
because we were beginning to venture
beyond our comfort zone.

When we first begin to step into our
greatness, things begin to change, and
that can be very uncomfortable. All of
a sudden we begin to feel different and
act different. We begin to notice that
we do not feel the same around our current
friends and acquaintances. Our job may
not feel right anymore. Sometimes our
current romantic partner may not feel
compatible.

When you begin to change, the things around
you in your life will change as well. This
can be scary. This is why we fear our inner
power so much. However, it is our duty to
be the best we can be. By being our greatest
selves, we unconsciously give those around us
permission to be their greatest selves, as well.

We do not serve to benefit the world by playing
small to make those around us comfortable. The
world needs us to live in our personal greatness.
By living in our greatness we naturally benefit
humanity. We are all one, we are all part of the
Universal Collective Consciousness. When you
raise your own personal vibration, you raise
the vibration of the whole.
