“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.”
----from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
With that being said, why do we play small? I know I have been guilty of disguising my talents, so others wouldn't feel insecure. Have you done this? If so, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!! You were brought forth into this realm to be all that you can be. You are a Magnificent Expression of the Divine. You may face resistance, yet you must go Boldly being your Authentic Self. People who have not yet recognized their own Greatness have a tendency to belittle others. They fear their own Greatness.
Is trying to fit in worth sacrificing your happiness? I Think Not!!!
