"Sometimes you have to
Stop worrying, wondering, and doubting.
Have faith that things will work out,
maybe not how you planned,

"The most important act of your life may be something you hardly notice at all. A bit of advice you give a friend. Some kindness offered to a stranger at just the right moment. Perhaps your purpose is to fail— to fail in some great deed— but in failure, you inspire others to take up your mantle and change the world. The true and lasting impact of your actions is not something you can hope to understand in this short, little life."

Ryan Gladney, Nine Lives of Adam Blake

"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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not 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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson
