Our Deepest Fear - Lost Blog

Our Deepest Fear
“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.” by Marianne Williamson

...and as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people...Hope, and Encourgement...to do the same.

We as a people are such strong vessels in this thing called life. We touch others without knowing it. We set examples when we had no intentions of doing so. I have to say however that our biggest mistake is not showing self and others our full potential and by that we miss out on our true purpose in life.

Marianne states, " Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?" Who are YOU not to be, who am I not to be!

Through prayer, motivation from others and a Little bit of hair loss:), I know my purpose. But why is it that we have to get knocked down to then realize what road we need to go down, when the signs were always there...all along. Could it have been "FEAR"?

I give things, writings, inspirational pieces to my children in hopes that they will not let "Fear" stand in there way of anything.

I'm blogging this because reading this has helped me in my journey and I pray that it will do the same for you, especially if you have not yet arrived at your destiny.

I just found your blog. I'm a fellow cueball and also a blogger. I only write about day to day boring stuff. Want to start talking more about being bald. Glad I came across you. You have wonderful things to be heard.
Thank you
