I'm reading a new book The Gift of Change: Spiritual Guidance for Living Your Best Life by the author Marianne Williamson who also wrote the popular A Course of Miracles.I like this quote of hers though I don't agree with all her New Age philosophy:
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 doesn't serve the world. There's 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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
I thoroughly believe what she states here and try to use it in my teaching creatively and finding my own voice. Have you found your voice?
