Our Deepest Fear

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 we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't 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 when 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.

The Price of Rubies


Today, in Sunday school, our lesson was on virtue, i.e; moral purity. In Proverbs 31:10 it says, "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is above rubies." Our teacher asked what that means, her price, and her son replied, "That you would have to buy her," or something like that. And I, being me, stated that if you have to buy her, she wouldn't be very virtuous. The whole class burst out laughing.

This totally cracked me up when I read it. Only, I was at my ward Christmas party...well, the cleaning up stages, and I didn't have anyone to share it with. You slay me! I love you!
