Onwards and upwards...

The question of the day is your favorite quote...  this just happens to be mine set to music!


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 is not just in some of us; it is 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. 
~ Marianne Williamson~

This quote really makes me think about my own potential and my own contribution to others potential.  Am I allowing myself to be everything I have the possibility of being?  Am I allowing others the same opportunity?  Or am I the one saying "that's impossible, there is no way you can achieve that goal.  Dream smaller."  I always want to be the positive voice.  Work hard, stay focused and be willing to sacrifice and you can succeed in anything.
