Who Am I To Be Brilliant?

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?"

Actually, who are you NOT to be?

You are a child of God

Your playing small doesn't serve the world

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people don't feel insecure around you

We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us

It is not just in some of us, it's in everyone

And as we let our 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

Inaugural speech: Nelson Mandela (1994)

The Absence of Words, The Presence of Thoughts

It has been almost two weeks, close to 15 days that I have not been writing. I have been reading instead. Planning for things to come together in work seems to be the priority for me these days. It has been quite a learning process - learning it the hard way, as well as the fun and mind blowing sort of manner. I have never expected taking a different approach to certain things in life can be that rewarding and intriguing. Some things present themselves in quite a unique way that I would not have seem to be able to comprehend before but now, they seem to be able to work their way into my system of thoughts very freely. Now, I do believe what we focus on expand...I only wish I could speed things up a little more. But then again, the universe has its own course to take and I can only try my best to work towards making sure to let it manifests itself when the right time comes along.
