"Our Deepest Fear"

So, as many as you know, I am currently enrolled in a Massage Tech class, with the ultimate goal of obtaining my HHP (Holistic Health Practitioner's Certificate). Last night at the end of class, our Thursday night instructor Shaunna read this "poem" to us. As I found out after a bit of online research, it's actually and excerpt from a book called "A Return to Love", which was written by motivational speaker & author Marianne Williamson. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did, and not only pass it on to friends and family, but live by it as well. Love, Robyn



Our Deepest Fear

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, handsome, talented and 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 within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
