Synchronicities

When Spryte read the portion of Marianne Williamson's that I've had posted for years over my desk or on a cabinet, I caught my breath. It was as if each word she spoke took minutes to come out of her mouth. It was as if she was speaking in slow motion. If I needed a validation that I was in the right place, this was it. I fell headlong in HUB in that moment. I still don't know what I'm in for and I don't know what my participation looks like, but I feel like I am in love, enamored.

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 and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is 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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others.


And there you have it. Playing small is what I've been doing. It is also what I'm no longer going to be doing. I will no longer shrink from my greatness. I am a child of God and because of that heritage, I am great! And so are you!
