“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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small
doesn’t serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won’t feel insecure around you. 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.”
-
Marianne Williamson
“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and
self-centered; forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of
selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false
friends and some true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat
you; be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could
destroy overnight; build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may
be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often
forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may
never be enough; give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in
the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them
anyway."
-
Mother Teresa
"The moment of victory is much too short to
live for that and nothing else."
- Martina
Navratilova

experience.”
