How often do we wish that we could reach our highest potential and yet, through a variety of reasons or, let’s be honest, excuses...., we fail to achieve what we know we could – if we gave the intention just a few % more effort!
Susan’s wonderful rendition of the Stones’ classic, ‘Wild Horses’ is so poignant as many of the lines seem to have been written especially for her (click on the link and listen). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJIDr15duZk
Let us then consider challenging ourselves to take on board the following words that were made so famous by Nelson Mandela ……..
"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'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 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 unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
