Thought-Shifting: Fear

Marianne Williamson, an eminently quotable woman, said:

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.

Fear can incite paralysis.

It can drown your dreams.

Like those chattering gremlins in your head

(the ones that make you feel worthless or stupid

and tell you your idea would never work)

fear can make your light flicker.

But here's the thing:

fear is just a thought.

You created it.

You can choose to rethink it,

to do things differently,

to acknowledge the wisdom the fear is concealing

and double-check to make sure your foundation is solid.

And then

LEAP.

What would happen if, just for today, you stepped into your power?

Acted as if nothing could stop you?

Took your dreams seriously?

Stop playing small.

Shine your radiant light so the darkness in the world diminishes.
