Our Deepest Fear

“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?
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. 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."

Is it True?

If you ask God to give you courage, does he give you courage, or does he give you a chance to be courageous?

(taken from the Evan Almighty Movie)Thanks Cheri!

Even if you are not religious, you have to admit that this makes a lot of sense. Chances to be courageous, use good judgment,or make the better choice plague us everyday. The consequences, sometimes plague us for life.

When suffering with Anxiety, these decisions can make all the difference relating to your symptoms and their management. If you choose to take your meds, get good rest, and ritually practice your coping skills, the benefits will always outweigh the risk of taking the plunge to make that decision.
