This is probably one of my favorite poems ever written. And I believe it to be so true.
So what are we afraid of?
“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.”
 WHAT LIBERATES YOU?

Good Morning and thanks for sharing......
I keep my grandson at night while his dad is working, When I get him up for breakfast and school, we sing "This Little Light of Mine, I'm gonna let it shine"
It really gets him up & going.......
Have a great day!

OOPS, I forgot to give credit to the author
Marianne Williamson!
And thank Sunshine for letting your light shine and passing that ability to your grandson. Our little ones need that positive vibe.
