Martha Graham, modern dance pioneer from early 1900s when barely any woman worked – led way to Alvin Ailey and more: There is a vitality, a life force, energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.
Miriam Williamson, Psychologist and Course in Miracles teacher: Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light and not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask 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 born to make manifest the glory of God that is 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 fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Winston Churchill once said: "Success is the ability to move from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."
From a engraving over a doorway in the main New York Public Library by Milton: “A good Booke is the precious Life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treated up on purpose to a life beyond life.”
