“Our deepest fear
is not that we are inadequate.
It is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness what most frightens us.
You might ask yourself,"Who am I to be so brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be!
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel unsure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
As we shine our own light,
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
This is my favorite Inspirational Message that Nelson Mandela read during his inauguration. I often read this message and think that I am special, important and a gift to others. My favorite line is “As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” What it means to me is when I take risks not only am I giving myself a special gift I am also giving it to others.
Please let me know your feelings and discoveries, when reading this inspirational message. I look forward to hearing from you.

“As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
This is so profound ~ that we can heal and teach by just BEing ~ by healing ourselves, we are healing others. So our own search for liberation is a service to humanity and in no way a sefish endeavor (for we are all connected).
I have this same quotation on my blog under "be happy" ~ although i thought Nelson Mandela was the author ;)
Thank you for your site, this is a wonderful support.
