“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.”

-Marianne Williamson

The following quotes are from The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo:

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is a worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

If a person is living out his destiny, he knows everything he needs to know. There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

Remember what I told you: the world is only the visible aspect of God. And that what alchemy does is to bring spiritual perfection into contact with the material plane.

When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's not need at all to understand what's happening...

No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.

Once upon a time a visitor came to the monastery looking for the purpose and meaning of life. The teacher said to the visitor, 'If what you seek is Truth, there is one thing you must have above all else.' "I know," said the visitor. "To find truth I must have an overwhelming passion for it." "No," the Teacher said. "In order to find Truth, you must have an unremitting readiness to admit you may be wrong."
