Listen "Episode 35: Is it time you stopped playing small?"
Episode Synopsis
The quote below from Marianne Williamson sums up today's podcast. Nelson Mandela referenced it in his inaugural speech and it matches the deepest fears many of us have about shining our light in the world. We are afraid of being shamed and ridiculed but without allowing ourselves to be seen, heard and even judged by others, we cannot be the contribution we truly be.
“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.”
