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

&quot;love is love&quot;<br /> &quot;You can&#039;t have a happy ending without a tragic begining, but the best part of the story is the middle.&quot; <br /> &quot;Great men fall in the fire it is the honor lesser men to light the flames no matter the cost&quot;
