A quote to start the weekend with

Cleaning up my office this afternoon and I spotted this quote hanging behind some post-its on my bulletin board. I love collecting quotes, I have a book that I write them in, and I read over them when I'm feeling uninspired. It's an amazing feeling when you come across a passage that strikes you so deeply. Since I'm sharing favorite things lately, I thought I'd share this too :)

"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 darkeness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

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 other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all ment to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsiciously, give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our prescence automatically liberates others."
--Marianne Williamson

And on that note, have a great weekend and go out there and do something amazing!
