Inspirational Quote

Today was my last day of my foundations of education class, and my teacher who I have loved this term gave us this quote:

"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 as 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."

What an inspiring this quote is! We have so much power to do good and to spread love to those around us. We can make a difference! I hope that as I live my life that I will shine to those around me, that I will help them in some way. What a blessing it is to b here on this earth. How grateful I am for he opportunity I have to learn and to grow and to help others to do the same. I am grateful to know that I have a Heavenly Father who knows and loves me and to know that I can be a tool in his hands in helping others around me!

Life is hard sometimes, and it is stressful sometimes but I truly am living life, loving it and learning so much along the way!
