A few days ago, while surfing the Internet, I came across this inspiring quote by Marianne Williamson, from her book, A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles.
“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 doesn’t 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. 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’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
These lines actually sum up the reason for which I decided to take the time to rediscover my passion for the Arts and Crafts after a long break.
I quit my day job recently with this colossal, though not so uncommon intention to finally “Let my own light shine”. :)
Hello, I am Priya from India and welcome to my new blog, which I am hoping is going to chronicle my journey exploring and experimenting my creativity till I find my inspiration again.
