The weight inside my chest  Those words, they made a mess  My mess. The heaviness is dragging me down  Making my shoulders sag  Making me cry and gag Over...

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'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'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.

&ldquo;For I know the plans I have for you,&rdquo; declares the LORD, &ldquo;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when &ldquo;For I know the plans I have for you,&rdquo; declares the LORD, &ldquo;plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,&rdquo; declares the LORD, &ldquo;and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,&rdquo; declares the LORD, &ldquo;and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> -<br /> Jeremiah 29:11-14
