“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? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
This is a reminder to push myself- these past few months I’ve been holed up- and it’s time to step out. It becomes easy to slip into old ways and say no to things that feel outside your comfort zone- which is why it’s great to have strong women around you who show you how it’s done. This is an homage to the women in my life who inspire me to do more. It’s not easy to be the one who steps up, stands out and takes the lead- which is exactly why its necessary.
Happy Women’s Day!
