“I spent more on a brake job for my car than I did on this course…and the changes I’ve experienced in my life from this course are permanent… my brakes will have to be replaced again.”
The Attitude Adjustment
Our worst 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 so brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’
Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God: You playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God 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 other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
