Born to shine

On a birthday card my former boss wrote me once:

'when you can dream it you can do it' 

I find this quote very powerfull and I try to remind myself of it when slipping away in daily obligations. Slipping away in the matrix. Slipping away in fear. 

I have so much respect for people with a dream and even more respect for people daring enough to pursue their dream. As I am convinced that we are all here with a purpose. Small or large... the size of the purpose doesn't matter. But to live to your fullest potential, that is what matters. 

To not live out of fear. To not live out of anger, but to live because we have a purpose, to live out of love and to live out of gratefulness. To live to shine.....so let's shine! 

'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.'
