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. 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
I am actually dealing with some painful stuff in my life right now, and I have a lot of concerns, but I continue to smother myself with anything encouraging to keep me going. So as I thought of you my family I thought I would do the same for you today. The writing above is one of my favorites, because it informs me on a daily basis that I am important, and I have much to offer to this life. I have posted this writing at home in my bedroom and Taylor's and I have it posted at work, to remind us both that we are important and that we must shine.
Some of you might be having a difficult time in your life at the moment. You might feel lonely, hopeless, disappointed, rejected, persecuted against, like a failure, stuck with no direction, your heart might be broken. You might not have a job at the moment or your job could be a challenge, as a business owner you could not know where to take the business next, or the business is not where it should be, your marriage might be under attack, you are concerned about your kids, you might be financially overwhelmed, I could go on, but in essence life is challenging at the moment. I say to you today continue to stand and believe that your life has much purpose, so you must continue onward in spite of. Surround your self with anything and everything encouraging during this time, and make sure to keep positive people around you.
I leave you with some quotes and scriptures that will encourage your heart and mind to fight and stand against the challenges of life. Be InCouraged and remember to be an InCourager to someone else in the midst of your own challenges.
