There's no long blog entry today. I was looking for something inspiring to share to my students when we get back from Sinulog --- and yes, after the midterm examinations and I came across with this. I've read it a million times before and if I am not mistaken, I quoted this in The Magister when I was still EIC. These lines always get to me and if there are those who need a little push to do more, then this should do it.
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 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 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 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.
—Marianne Williamson
Have a great week, ahead! :)
