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 frightens us most.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant?
Who am I to be gorgeous?
Who am I to be talented?
Who am I to be fabulous?
Actually,
Who are you not to be?
You are a child of God,
And your playing small does not serve the world.
There's 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.
And it is not just in some of us,
It is 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.
In my early days of manifesting,
I remember feeling selfish.
I felt like it was taking me away from my spiritual journey.
All the things that I wanted,
All the desires.
Like gaining personal success and happiness was in some way taking away from everyone else.
What I didn't realize was twofold.
First,
That this belief was rooted in lack and scarcity,
Further preventing me from successfully manifesting.
And second,
That by my stepping into this light,
I would inspire others to do the same.
For the good of all,
Or not at all,
Is a motto that avid manifestors need to live by.
Acknowledging the mysterious ways of the universe allows this energy to flow more freely,
Which will result in fantastic manifestations for all people,
Not just yourself.
Manifesting is not a selfish act.
It's a courageous act.
It's an act of standing in your own power and claiming your right as a child of God to be happy,
Successful,
And love this journey.
It becomes selfish if you don't care how your reality impacts other people's realities.
And I know that's not the fact for any of you.
Wherever you are in your own personal spiritual journey,
At some point you've either come to realize,
Or eventually will,
That each of us is so linked to each other and to the universe as a whole.
This being the case,
Reasoning tells us that the very nature of giving and receiving is also related.
You see,
There's something inherently disrespectful towards the universe about not becoming everything that you can truly be.
The universe has given you a unique set of gifts and abilities and talents and skills,
And it wants you to use them.
Can you accept right now that your greatest responsibility is to be true to yourself,
To express these natural talents,
To express these natural abilities?
As Marianne Williamson says,
Who are you not to be brilliant,
Gorgeous,
Talented,
And fabulous?
Our playing small does not serve the world,
And there is nothing enlightened about shrinking.
You are meant to shine.
We were meant to manifest.
And so step into your power.
Be liberated from your own fear,
Because as we do so,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
Our presence liberates others.
Take a deep breath in and a long breath out.
And I'll leave you here in silence for a few minutes to once again call upon all of the tools you have now for creating and manifesting the life of your dreams.
We were born before the wind,
Also younger than the sun.
The bonnie boat was one as we sailed into the mystique.
I cannot hear the sailors cry,
Smell the sea and feel the sky.
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystique.
When that foghorn blows,
I will be coming home.
And when the foghorn blows,
I want to hear it.
I don't have the fear and I want to rock your gypsy soul.
Just like way back in the days of old.
Now magnificently we will fold into the mystique.
When that foghorn blows,
You know I will be coming home.
And when that foghorn blows,
I got to hear it,
I don't have the fear and I want to rock your gypsy soul.
Just like way back in the days of old.
Now magnificently we will fold into the mystique.
Come on,
Girl.
We're late to stop now.
I hate to see you cry,
Lying there in that position.
There's things you need to hear,
So turn off your tears and listen.
Pain throws your heart to the ground.
Love turns the whole thing around.
I know it won't all go the way it should,
But I know the heart of life is good.
Bring your palms together in front of your heart.
Take a soft bow,
Acknowledging that inner creator and the power that exists within.
And now say,
I release and surrender,
Allowing the universe to lead the way.
Namaste.
