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 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’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. 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.

You are surrounded by gifts every living moment of every day. Let yourself feel appreciation for their presence in your life and take time to acknowledge their splendour

big enough to capture your heart,
bright enough to illuminate your mind
and deep enough to satisfy your spirit
May you find the strength to pursue it
and be enriched by it across the years.~Author Unknown

Let go of the past…
Trust the future…
Embrace change…
Come out of the cocoon…
Unfurl your wings…

Ride the breezes…
Savor the flowers…
Put on your brightest colours…
Let your beauty show…

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within…

…Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away…

To laugh is to risk ridicule
To stand up before the crowd is to risk humiliation
To fight for what you believe in is to risk failure
To love is to risk not being loved in return
But…
He who fears ridicule will never know what its like to be laughed with
He who fears humiliation will never know acceptance
He who fears failure will never know triumph
He who fears rejection will never know the warmth, joy & passion of being loved in return
Taking risks is what makes us human, it is inbred in us and to fear taking risks is to reject our humanity. Fear is a part of being mortal, but overcoming that fear is what makes us human

Through The Journey of Life
by Author UnknownDo not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life.
Do not give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.Do not be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Do not shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give love.
The fastest way to lose love is too hold it too tightly.
In addition, the best way to keep love is to give it wingsDo not dismiss your dreams.
To be without dreams is to be without hope.
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Do not run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been,
but also where you are going.Life is not a race,
but a journey to be savored each step of the way -
