We all need a little pick me up... even me!

As I wake up this Sunday morning, a little ache in the shoulder, toes cracking as my feet hit the floor, knee's a little funky, worries about money, being a good parent, a good partner, a good person and numerous others, I know I don't have all the answers but they are within my reach. Sometimes we all need a little pick me up. Sometimes we need it everyday to keep things in perspective and stay the course!

I am reminded today of part of the quote from Marianne Williamson that says, "Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you."

Yes, I have fears, doubts and troubles like everyone else but bringing them out to make others feel better serves no purpose but to stay in the shadow of success and dreams and to never come into their light.

Here is the full quote from Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles:

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that 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 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.

Health and Happiness!
