Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson

"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 does not serve the world. There is 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

''All mankind is divided into three classes: Those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that MOVE.''

~Benjamin Franklin (courtesy of our own Audrey Gaudreault)

Have a "I'm making my MOVE" kind of a day!

I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to dance better than myself."

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.
~Benjamin Elijah Mays


"What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.

~Ursula K. LeGuin

"You got to be careful if you don't know where you're going, because you might not get there."

~Yogi Berra

“Cheshire Puss,” asked Alice, “Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” “That depends a good deal on where you want to go,” said the Cat. ”I don’t much care where,” said Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.

~From Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

In the end it is important to remember that we cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are.

~Max de Pree



"The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitude."

~William James

You are not big steps away from anything; you are small shifts away from everything.

~Keith Kochner

“To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.”

~Unknown

Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly.
~Robert Schuller

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success."
~Norman Vincent Peale

"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength;

They shall mount up with wings like eagles,

They shall run and not be weary,

They shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31
