&ldquo;And once the storm is over, you won&rsquo;t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won&rsquo;t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won&rsquo;t be the same person who walked in. That&rsquo;s what this storm&rsquo;s all about.&rdquo; <br /> ― Haruki Murakami

&quot;Why do people say the sky is the limit when theres foot prints on the moon&quot; &ldquo;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. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us; it&#039;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.&rdquo;
