I wanted to start off with a poem by Marianne Williamson. I absolutely love this poem. It is my go to feature. Go to reference point. All the time for if I. Having any moments of self doubt or just to really get more clarity, to really get more certainty. And really keep going. And I love this, our deepest fear.
Let me read this to you now. This poem is by Marianne Williamson.
Our deepest fear. Is not that we're 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. You were 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. As 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 weird liberated from our own fear.
