Inspiration

by Marianne Williamson in “A Return To Love”

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 and 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.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people
won’t feel insecure around you.
We are meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God within us.
It is 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.

v  "Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but
by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage
with which you have maintained the struggle against
overwhelming odds."  ~Orison Swett Marden

v  "If you see it, touch it.  If you touch it, feel it. If you feel it, love it. If you love it...Give it."

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly.

Patrick Overton

v  How can you fly? You create your own wings! How can you create your own wings? Keep dreaming and dreaming and dreaming!

v  In order for you to create anything in your life, you must first dream or imagine it. Whether you are aware of it or not, you constantly use your imagination. You either continually ‘awfulize’ and ‘catastophize’ and dream up your worst nightmares through worry, fear and anger. Or you use your imagination to aspire to the highest of your potential through faith, hope, love and dreaming big.

v  Since you are always imagining or dreaming about something, why not make it a dream that is truly big, worthwhile and of greatest value to you and to others.

v  “Our beginnings never know our ends.” —T.S. Eliot

v  You get to choose what you focus on and what you get in life. You choose whether you learn to glide and fly or whether you struggle and crawl through life! You get to create your own wings or your own crutches! And the real “neat” thing about all this is that once you learn to fly you learn that, “the sky is no longer the limit,” only YOU were!

v  {The Notebook} The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.

v  "One hour per day of study will put you at the top of your field within three years. Within five years you'll be a national authority. In seven years, you can be one of the best people in the world at what you do." Earl Nightingale: Was a motivational author and speaker
