Our Deepest Fear

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

My brother sent me this very interesting quote today (THANKS ZULLO!!!!):

“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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? 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 meant to shine, as children do. 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)

It just made me think that it´s true that we sometimes feel insecure, and it´s always easier to let others "shine", than actually make the effort to do so ourselves. rolleyes

Very interesting thought! It does sound strange first, but in fact it does make sense when you think of it.
Thanks for sharing up smile

Hello Henar smile
I have already heard this, it's a very interesting point of view up
But in my advice this isn't a fear, most a blindness so we can't believe in ourself. Do you like to see yourself in photography? Most of the time, not! Even other people like the photo. Why we can't love ourself?

Claude, it´s true that most of us can´t really believe in ourselves. It´s truly a shame!!!! I think the first step for other people to love you is to love yourself!

thanks Amund!smile
