There is one quote that I love above all others. A quote that inspires me more each and every time I read it or hear it.
It is a quote that was featured in the movie 'Coach Carter'. Written by Marianne Williamson in her book ' A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.'
This quote moves me to tears and challenges me to be better, do better and shine brighter. I want to stand on the top of the highest mountain and yell it for the world to hear.
And it goes a little something like this...
“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.”
The author of this quote is a visionary, a leader, a best-selling author, a speaker and an influential woman in America. It excites me that she is now running for Congress in California.
I pray that she wins her election as I am eager to see what changes she can continue to inspire in the House of Representatives.
If we want things to change, we must first support change.
