“Great people have a vision of their lives that they practice emulating each and everyday. They go to work on their lives, not just in their lives. Their lives are spent living out the vision they have of their future, in the present. They compare what they’ve done with what they intended to do. And where there’s a disparity between the two, they don’t wait very long to make up the difference.”

// Michael Gerber

“Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The disparate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people”

// Richard Foster

“No one is pure evil. If you wait long enough, they will show you there good side. You can’t make them do it in a hurry, but you can be patient.”

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.
