Our Deepest Fear

Our Deepest Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Out 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 does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking  
so other 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 everyone.


Marianne Williamson

Invictus
 
OUT of the night that covers me,    
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,    
I thank whatever gods may be    
For my unconquerable soul.    
In the fell clutch of circumstance    
I have not winced nor cried aloud.    
Under the bludgeonings of chance    
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
It matters not how strait the gate,    
How charged with punishments the scroll,    
I am the master of my fate:    
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903


I love this poem because it reminds me that my life is in my hands and I have the power at birth to make my own decisions to achieve the results I want in my life.
