I ran into this quote today…one I’ve always loved…

“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.” ~ Marianne Williamson

“In the same way that sculptors mold clay into the creation that pleases them, you create by molding Energy. You mold it through your power of focus–by thinking about things, remembering things, and imagining things. You focus the Energy when you speak, when you write, when you listen, when you are silent, when you remember, and when you imagine–you focus it through the projection of thought.” ~ Esther & Jerry Hicks

“The future belongs to a different kind of person.

Designers, inventors, teachers, storytellers—creative and empathetic right-brain thinkers
whose abilities mark the fault line between who gets ahead and who doesn’t.”

Daniel Pink, Author of “Whole New Mind”

“If you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track, which has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.” ~Joseph Campbell

“Only as high as I reach can I grow.
Only as far as I seek can I go.
Only as deep as I look can I see.
Only as much as I dream can I be.”
–Karen Ravn

“When we surrender to God, we surrender to something bigger than ourselves –to a universe that knows what it’s doing. When we stop trying to control events they fall into a natural order, an order that works. We’re at rest while a power much greater than our own takes over, and it does a much better job than we could have done. We learn to trust that the power that holds galaxies together can handle the circumstances of our relatively little lives.”

“Ideas are like seeds; when they first come up you don’t know what they’re going to grow into. Just keep following your joyful impulses, and your ideas will unfold into the forms that best serve you.”–Sanaya Roman

Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream you shall become.
Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be.
Your idea is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
James Allan

I received this in my email today, in Neale’s newsletter. Great thought for the day!

“…life is not about what comes to you, but what comes through you.”

“Dwell upon your mental picture until it is clear and distinct, and then take the mental attitude of ownership toward everything in that picture. Take possession of it, in mind, in the full faith that it is actually yours. Hold to this mental ownership. Do not waiver for an instant in the faith that it is real.” — Wallace Wattles
