Our Deepest Fear......

We as humans have a lot of fears. We tend to create many of our "I can't do it" statements because of these fears. Some of the more common fears we have include: the fear of failure, the fear of the unknown, the fear of judgment from others, etc.

One of the most surprising fears that people have however; is the fear of success...yes, believe it or not many people actually fear being successful and reaching their goals."What will happen to me if I reach that goal?", "What changes will I have to make in my life?" "Do I deserve to be successful?"

Because of this fear, many of us simply give up on these goals and decide that it is safer to stay where we are.

We'd like for you to take a moment to read a famous quote by one of our favorite Life Coaches, Marianne Williamson
See if it rings a little true for you?

Read it out...go ahead, you have nothing to fear!

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.
