NELSON MANDELA quoted: “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 doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are 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 consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
The above words of Marianne Williamson are so true. If an artist creates a masterpiece, he would not want to keep it hidden away, but would want it to be enjoyed by everyone.
Are you expressing your full potential? You probably have talents and abilities that have not yet been fully expressed. What have you been keeping from the world? Now that spring has sprung – in the Northern Hemisphere – the time when trees blossom forth with new leaves and flowers, and when the whole earth seems to come to life again, it is appropriate that you do the same.
Seek within yourself for that which has not yet been expressed through you. Let your light shine so that others may more easily find their own paths of enlightenment and fulfillment. Accept that you can always be happier, healthier, more prosperous, more loving, giving and creative. Within you lies a bottomless reservoir of spiritual potential just waiting for you to express it. Both you and the world will be better off when you do.

Bytes of Wisdom …
Eyes that look are common. Eyes that see are rare. Ears that hear are common. Ears that listen are rare.
Someone once observed that we have two ears and one mouth and should learn to use them in that proportion.
A wise old owl sat in a tree,
The more he heard the less he spoke;
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?
– William J. Bennett
I always told the musicians in my band to play with what they know and then play above that. Because then anything can happen, and that’s where great art and music happens. – Miles Davis
A Little Humor …
When a squirrel slipped into my house, I did the logical thing: I panicked and called my father. “How do I get a squirrel out of a basement?” I shrieked. Dad advised me to leave a trail of peanut butter and crackers from the basement to the outside.
It worked – the squirrel ate his way out of the house. Unfortunately, he passed another squirrel eating his way in. – Corrine Stevens
