“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 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

this is a good read and you can apply it to most everything.
i wish more people thought this way.

i'm watching the opening of the olympics
and it is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!
sometimes it brings tears to my eyes....
if only humans put their efforts into things like this more often instead
of war.
it could be such a different world.
*sigh*
there is so much potential in us.
it hurts to only see the occasional glimpse.
