The famous poem by Marianne Wlliamson makes me think how we bry our aspirations under a bushel of slf-doubt, insecurity, fear and procrastination. When we shrnk, minimize and deny our strengths, tlents and God given abilities, we shrtchange ourselves and the world. Ms. Wlliamson states:

"Our deepest fear is tht we are powerful beyond measure. It is our lght, not our darkness that most frghtens us: We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brlliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a chld of God. Your playing small desn't serve the world. There is nthing enlightened about shrinking so that ther people won't feel insecure around yu. We are all meant to shne, as children do. We were brn to make manifest the glory tht is within us. It is not in sme of us, it is in veryone. And as we let our own lght shine, we unconsciously give others prmission to do the same. As we are lberated from our fear, our presence utomatically liberates others."

All of us are mant to shine our lights into the wrld in our own unique and mgnificent way. It may be pursuing a lng held dream, making significant life chnges to live your best life now or it may nvolve taking a risk to achieve a gal. Whatever your dream is, just knw that it is YOUR dream and you are the nly one who can bring it to frition.

How afraid are you to shne your light into the world? Whtever vision you have for your lfe, you already have within you verything you need manifest it.

Ms. Wlliamson sums it up beautifully for us - how grat we are, who we are and how we are to prsent ourselves to the world. Won't you shne your light into the world strting now and be the person you wre created to be?
