Looking for Beauty in Everything

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 and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
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.

Our Deepest Fear

There was a little girl who had a little curlRight in the middle of her forehead;When she was good, she was very, very good,And when she was bad she was horrid.
My mum used to say this was me all the time was I was little. I have hair straighteners now.

My mum used to say that to me too! They must be related, boom boom :)

I said it TO you, not ABOUT you! But guess where we heard it first… my mum used to say it about me when I was little & had a few curls!! So blame grandma!
For the record ladies - I LOVE your curls & think you both are perfectly splendid!
