Inspiration

and we think WE have challenges?

The post for today is short and sweet.  Sometimes we need a little help, motivation and inspiration to get moving in our lives.  And our inspiration can come in many forms.  Often, I find inspiration in photographs of animals, kids, babies and beautiful landscapes.  Another favorite of mine is the poignant quote. Sometimes when I read a quote, it hits me harder than a ton of bricks...in a good way.

"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.  We are all meant to shine, as children do.  We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone.  And as we let our 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."                                                                                                      Marianne Williamson

The veil of confusion falls away.

Like the dank mist on a dull autumn day.

Revealing the path that lies before me.

To step forward or not, what will it be?
