Our deepest fears...

Read the entire next quote and then take a deep breath afterward...it will make sense.

"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 enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. 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. " Marianne Williamson.

I get tears every time I read that quote. I have never been one to get depressed because I did too much or was too tired from working too hard...I get depressed when I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God made me for much more than who I am at that moment.

Most recently I lost my job which, given the pure enigma I felt in it being gone, was apparently making me horribly depressed. When the job was gone, it was as though God said to me: "My beautiful child, I have created so much more for you and since you aren't going to do anything about it, my love for you will get rid of it." He knew that I was meant for so much more and since then, I have rested in His arms each day in prayer asking Him who He wants me to be. When I sell myself short or do things only half-way, I only sell God short because He has given me (and each and everyone one of us) a chance to change this world.

On that note; pray often, dream big, and have faith in our Creator.
