Epiphany.

[innocentlyjaded]

... and as far as those go in my life, this is probably the... messiest.

"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."

I want this to work. I'll make this work.

That's a beautiful quotation.

I do not doubt you can make work whatever you need to. ♥

I've heard of it before, and it's only just last night that I suddenly remembered it.

I'm just starting to, really. I just... realized it last night. Thank you ^^

That's an awe inspiring quote. Where is it from?

[innocentlyjaded.livejournal.com]

It's from a book by Marianne Williamson, " A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles". Nelson Mandela quoted it during his inauguration speech when he was made president, methinks, so it's mistakenly known as his speech only.

Ah, this is the second time I've encountered this. Pretty challenging.

Shine on.

[timewaster.livejournal.com]

You'll make it work so that all of us will shine with you too.

That sounds very familiar. I really like the quote though, it carries a lot of responsibility with it, I think.

I have no doubts that you'll be able to make it work!
