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.”
What do you think? Do you agree?
I’m posting this quotation to go along with the recent competition related posts. I particularly like the last part about how by pursuing excellence ourselves we allow other people to be comfortable doing the same. This quotation was used in the Akeelah and the Bee movie which is for obvious reasons a favorite around here.
