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 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 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. As we let our own light shine we give other people permission to do the same; as we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ~ Marianne Williamson

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action; and there is only one of you in all time. This expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
~Martha Graham

When we deny our calling, we begin to die, because as living beings we must always seek to explore and discover. When we settle for comfort over discovery--or when we compromise the soul's longing to grow, postponing our adventurous journey until we have enough time or money--we begin to wither. But when we follow the example of the hummingbird and reawaken our natural instinct to learn and explore, our lives blossom into epic quests. ~ Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. in his book "Mending the Past and Healing the Future with Soul Retrieval"
