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 were 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 own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The Metaphorical Cliff


This is it. I'm taking the plunge. And when I say plunge, I truly mean it. You're talking to a senior here. Theoretically, I should be graduating at the end of April. However, due to my late start on my current major, and then my discomfort with where I was, I have fallen rather short of that 4 year stretch. I've found myself asking, "Why am I doing this? Why am I here? What's the purpose of this?" After months of this, I knew that it was time to step back and take a look at what my life has become.
I was on the phone with my good friend talking about the things that change our life paths. As she was reassuring me that things would all work out as long as I'm doing what I should be and putting my trust in the Lord. And then it sort of hit me.
I don't want to do Athletic Training. I don't want to major in Dance. And so I made a decision. A decision that scares me. I'm making a 180. I'm closing my eyes and diving into the abyss. I met with an academic counselor and I'm changing my major. What to? As of yet, I have no idea. I have no direction. But I know that it's right and I'm putting all my faith in God.

Laugh

Ha. Sometimes it's important to laugh, even when you don't feel like it. So ha. Ha ha!
