Ordinary Words to Live By

The amazing quote for the day sent to me by Fico and Paloma and corrections from Elsanne, Nelson Mandela didn´t say it Marianne Williamson should receive all the credit for these words that are like a lifeboat; slippery, a bit damp, but safe and surviving.

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.
Marianne Williamson
