Who am I to be brilliant?

I'm not normally much for inspirational quotes, so my posting of this is a measure of how much I like it.  It was originally written by Marianne Williamson, and it came to my attention when it was mass emailed the other day by Jonathan Roche, a fitness guru associated with Flylady.  Great quote for starting out 2012!



"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.  There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 

We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We are 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
