A Marianne Williamson quote

As we continue to focus on the Common Ground monthly theme of vision and possibilities, this morning we shared the Marianne Williamson quote-

“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."

I was particularly inspired by the idea that our deep work pays off, in our presence. We are of service just by doing our inner work and shining our light in the world. As we are able to remember this wisdom throughout the day, may we rise to every invitation to illumine the moment!
