So long…procrastination…stalling…afraid of what might become of my focus. 

What if I fail??  What if I’m ‘not as good as I think I am’?  It’s really time now to RELEASE MY FEARS. 

A NEW DAILY EXERCISE

I have changed the pronouns of the following profound observation of ‘Our Deepest Fear’ as made by Marianne Williamson so that I can use it as a daily affirmation to help me release my fears.  I found that when I read it in its original form, I was detached from the message as though I were observing the principal of its message, and not practicing its brilliant wisdom.

“My deepest fear is not that I am inadequate.
My deepest fear is that I am powerful beyond measure.

It is my light, not my darkness that most frightens me. I ask myself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who am I not to be?

I am a child of God. My playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around me. I, like all of us, am meant to shine, as children do.

I was born to make manifest the glory of God that is within me. It's not just in me; it's in everyone. And as I let my own light shine, I unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As I am liberated from my own fear, my presence automatically liberates others.”
