"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.”

Today as I was going about my daily activites. This poem came into my head. And today this poem best describes how I feel. We walk around as people not being our usual conceited, over-confident selves to spare other peoples feelings. Or because we are afraid of what they may think or say about us when we walk away. I look at it like this, I can be fabulous, talented and beautiful and be proud of it. Its not my fault that growing up you didnt have that extra boost of confidence from family or friends.

I feel that we all should think highly of ourselves. We should all walk around with our heads held high. As long as you arent putting people down in the process, you are ok.
