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 doesn’t serve the world. There’s 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’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
there is a time ...
"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven : A time to be born , anda time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down and a time to build up; A time to laugh and a time to weep ; a time to mourn and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones and
a time to gather stones together
a time to embrance
and a time to refrain from embrancing;
A time to get and a time to lose;
a time to keep and a time to cast away ;
A time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence and a time to speak;
A time to love and a time to hate,
a time of war and a time of peace.
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein laboreth?
He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one’s lifetime; moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor— it is the gift of God
I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him "
