Quotes and Goals

One of my favorite quotes is a poem by Marianne Williamson.  It's a poem that has been posted up on the wall of the Clayton studio for years and years, and Kim always read it to inspire us.  I didn't really care until a couple years ago when I actually read it seriously.  Now it's one of my favorite things.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyong 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 are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some fo 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."
