19 mei Our Deepest Fear- Marianne Williamson
Een prachtige tekst van Marianne Williamson over onze innerlijke kracht & onze angst voor die kracht. *ipv ‘God’ lees ik graag ’the Universe’, aan jou om te lezen wat voor jou goed voelt. Haar teksten over Angst & liefde zijn een inspiratie voor mij en de inzichten komen regelmatig ter sprake tijdens coaching sessies.

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?
You are a child of God* (the Universe)
Your playing small
Does not 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 were born to make manifest
The glory of God* (the Universe) 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’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
