“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 the universe. 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 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.” Discover Your Joy…. www.soulexpressions.net

How about you ?

Do you feel free and strong enough to live your full potential ?

Or do you let your fear of other people’s judgement restrain you from doing so ?

How does it serve the world if we all strive to be the average person ‘John Smith’ or ‘Jan Modaal’ ?

How would the world look like if we all did ?

if we all averaged out our specificity, our potential to shine

ooh … and guess what … your specificity will be cheered for by some and ‘boooo-ooood’ by others
