Something to meditate on

I was going to post this on my personal blog. But I think this is something we can all share. I needed some truth so a fellow soul rebel passed this on. It comes from a man who I must admit-I don't know too much about. But from what I do know about him...I have to say I recognize him to be one of the few people of our recent history to have done a great justice for humanity. And I think that's what this world needs right now...it needs more humanity. We need to dream bigger dreams and need to expect more from one another. So I invite others to medidate on this one with me.

“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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?" 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 people won't feel insecure around you. 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 all of us. And when 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.” – Nelson Mandela
