The truth is it's you she fears. You are the reason for her tears. You hit and beat her with all your might. But she does nothing not even put up a fight. Hoping you'...

"The advice to 'hold on to your dreams' is all well and good, but there comes a point when holding on to your dreams becomes unhelpful and even unhealthy. life can pass you by while you are clinging on to a wish that can never be - or ought never to be fulfilled. Your deepest yearning is for something impossible Desperately sad though it is that you have been deprived of your dreams, know that siting and gazing on a vision of what you can never have, will only damage you and your heart."

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, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s 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 are 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.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
