Light Leak
It’s been said: "You have no idea what's coming next". Naturally, this is periodically going through my mind and gave me food for thought. Every day I have to fight with myself, with who I am, what my dreams are, what I am supposed to do when I grow up, how can I find the best choices for me. I need hope to keep
me moving. I need light to brighten my days. Figuratively, I open my windows, I pull back my curtains, I open my mind.
There is no better way to describe human beings than a quote of Marianne Williamson by the name Our Deepest Fear that goes like this “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? 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. 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.”
We all need inspiration in our lives; someone to let us know that we have the power to do whatever we wish to do. The only thing stopping us from doing it, is ourselves. Our fears and insecurities.
Light is knowledge and we need more of it. So just let the light in..
