Our Deepest Fears

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves ‘who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous'? Actually, who are you not to be? We are born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us. 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'.
Marianne Williamson

God made each and everyone of us in his own unique way, we are all special and that is why we differ from each other. He created each being with a unique feature(some might call it talent). For one to be successful in life, for one to learn and know what that feature is, we need to first learn to be ourselves and find out who we really are......to find out what it is that makes us special.
Everyone has something which differentiates them from others, but at the same time we must bare in mind that being different does not mean we are superior to others, we should learn to remain humble.

We worry so much about what people think or say about us and in the process we bring ourselves down to make others comfortable around us so that we can get their acceptance. The more we beat ourselves down, the more inadequate we feel and on that note, we remain on a dissatisfying level.We become the light of the world in our own special way when we become the best we set out to be and the best we can be. We have the right to be ourselves and no matter what the problem might be, we can shine when we are ourselves, just as God wants us to be. By doing this, we unconsciously reach out to others and touch them in a positive way (no matter how little). 'Every positive impact helps all to shine to the fullest'.

The only person that can bring you down is you,so do not beat yourself down in whatever it is you do, want or believe in. The way you carry yourself in the presence of others is how they shall see and respect you.
