I saw this poem somewhere, and its words resonated within me, making me realize that often what holds us back is not our skill set or many other self-limiting beliefs or thoughts that we impose on ourselves but our own fear. Often I can not help but to think of the passage in the Bible about the size of a mustard seed and the ability to move mountains (Matthew 17:20). I realize that I surely need to increase faith because I still can not move mountains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Deepest Fear<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Marianne Williamson<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<\/em>
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's 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.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Truly, what stops us from being more who we are meant to be? Each of us carries the potential to succeed in our pursuits, but it often takes a leap of faith and the determination to chase our passions without hesitation. This journey reflects the essence of the mustard seed\u2014a small yet powerful symbol of faith and growth. Just as a mustard seed grows into a mighty tree, our willingness to create and strive can unlock our potential and spark an expanding effect in the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we take action, we inspire others to follow their dreams, wherever they lead.   Think of it like a chain reaction of ambition and innovation that spreads throughout our communities. This idea aligns with Newton’s Law of Motion<\/a>, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. I realize that the law is primarily meant for physics, but I feel that it is not limited by that context; rather, it can also resonate deeply with the way our aspirations influence others, creating an interconnected web of possibilities that can uplift and motivate countless individuals to realize their own dreams.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s put aside the old wine skin of fear and put on the new one which enables us to become who we are meant to be, allowing our light to shine through. As we shed our old skins of hesitation and doubt, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and experiences that enrich our lives. In this transformation, others will witness our growth, inspired by our courage. This newfound energy will create an environment where creativity flourishes and collaboration thrives, prompting us to take action that extends beyond our individual journeys, inspiring a positive change in the lives of those around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
