\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.\u201d ~Marianne Williamson<\/strong><\/span> \nMuhammad Ali<\/strong> said, \u2026\u2019 \u201cI\u2019m going to show YOU how great I am! I\u2019m so fast, that last night, I turned off the light switch in my bedroom and was in bed before the room was dark!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going to show YOU how great I am! Only last week, I murdered a rock; injured a stone; hospitalized a brick! I\u2019m so mean, I make medicine sick! I\u2019m going to show YOU how great I am! I have wrestled with an alligator. I have tussled with a whale. I have handcuffed lightning; thrown thunder in jail. I\u2019m going to show YOU how great I am!\u201d \u2018<\/span><\/p>\n Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> said, \u2018 \u201c\u2026 but somewhere along the line, you changed. You stop being YOU! You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you\u2019re no good and when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something that you already know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe world ain\u2019t all sunshine and rainbows. It\u2019s a very mean and nasty place and I don\u2019t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. It ain\u2019t about how how hard you hit. It\u2019s about how hard you can GET hit and keep moving forward; how much you can TAKE and keep moving forward.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s how winning is done! Because if you\u2019re willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who\u2019s got the right to stop you?<\/span><\/p>\n I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something\u2026 and you\u2019re told no, even after you paid your dues\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWho\u2019s got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It\u2019s your right to listen to your gut, it ain\u2019t nobody\u2019s right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Now, if you know what you\u2019re worth, then go out and GET what you\u2019re worth. But you\u2019ve got to be willing to take the hits and not pointing fingers and saying you ain\u2019t where you want to be because of him, or her, or ANYBODY. \u2026and that ain\u2019t you! You\u2019re better than that!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Our deepest fear is not that we\u2019re inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<\/em> It\u2019s our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won\u2019t feel insecure around you.<\/span><\/p>\n We were all meant to shine, as children. It\u2019s not just in some of us, it\u2019s in everyone. 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 deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<\/p>\n How great are YOU going to be?<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDo not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still exist but you have ceased to live!\u201d ~Henry David Thoreau<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAnyone can give up, it\u2019s the easiest thing to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that\u2019s true strength!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n How are YOU going to live your life?
