For the New Year, January 2019
Who are YOU to Shine?! Or better still- Who are you NOT to Shine??
Ever asked yourself either Question?
About 10 years ago I came across the below poem “Our Deepest Fear” by Marianne Williamson and it touched me deeply.
This was in part because I was aware that I had some type of Power within me (and without) which, when it came up, I would almost automatically hide under the proverbial bush. Unfortunately, I had been confused by other people’s reactions towards me and had assumed that this was just a painful part of life, added to which at that time I lacked in self confidence and self awareness, and so believed that external factors like being accepted by others and being outwardly successful would be the answer to my inner angst.
The fundamentals of self acceptance and taking each day as it comes, the road to which I can assure you has been littered with many a false God – or should I say false beliefs – wasn’t even an option that I was aware of.
And then, because of my lack of understanding, when I needed my Power, it seemed that no matter what I tried, how often I tried or what I did or didn’t do, I couldn’t access it nor get it to perform in the way I wanted it to…
In short and probably from being hidden away for many centuries (as this playing down had come through many generations) the truth of the matter was I coming about it via the wrong direction and, if I’d known half of what my Real Power was about and what I could do with it – plus that one day I was going to release this not only in myself but consequently in other people too – then I wouldn’t have had to hide it away from anyone (nor from myself) as it was always essentially of me by my being alive.
So, as you read the below, please begin to let your inner Power shine as it’s truly meant to – no one can ever take this away from you nor fade it, no matter what stage in life you’re at – in fact, any attempts to do this (either yours or anyone else’s) is, in essence, taking it away from us all.
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 are YOU to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?”
Actually, who are you NOT to be these things?
You are a child of the Universe.
You, playing small,
Does not serve the world.
There’s 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 the Universe 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’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson (1992)
