Tonight
By realisant_mon_espoir SILVER

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson

&quot;I wonder if Beethoven held his breath<br /> the first time his fingers touched the keys<br /> the same way a soldier holds his breath<br /> the first time his finger clicks the trigger.<br /> We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.&rdquo; -Andrea Gibson

&quot;Whatever you are feeling right now, there is a mathematical certainty someone is feeling the exact same way. This isn&#039;t to say you aren&#039;t special. This is to say thank God you aren&#039;t special.&quot;<br /> - Neil Hilborn
