What makes you so special?

Ever get the feeling that you are not so special after all? I can't tell you how many times since childhood  I thought that or was told that. The sad fact is I believed it.

But through my own journey I cannot believe this anymore. You and I have something to give this world. A chance to inspire and give back. That is what makes each and every one of us special!

In her book, A Return To Love, Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, Marianne Williamson writes it best.

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.

Health and Happiness!
