If given power our fears can cripple us

If given power our fears can really cripple us

This inspiring Quote by Marianne Williamson is from her book: A return To Love

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? 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.

This is my most desired part of the quote and it makes me wonder about how much we let go because of fear. We let go of our dreams and get stuck in dark corner we have created. We get stuck in that corner and watch the world passing us by, wondering how we got there in the first place. Most of us have experienced this type of imprisonment upon our selves and it has left us crippled to the point that we need intervention to bring us back from that cold, dark corner we have trapped our selves in for so long.

At times we close our eyes and dream of a place not yet known to ourselves, a place we yet to discover. We smile at this dream, thought or fantasy. But when we start to really think about it, then fear comes and takes over the joy and magic we felt in our hearts. The heart wants to explore, yet fear bounds me to the familiar surrounding I know. I let fear control me to the point where I have create divisions in my head of,’ what ifs’? I fear of dying in a different place and my family never finding my remains, and then I wonder how I got fear to control me this far. Would fear leave me as wonderer who wanted to, but always feared what might happen?

How about feeling the fear and doing following your dreams none the less. Because the way I see it, we make mistakes, with fear or no fear.
