Monday, September 11, 2006Fear not yourself"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?" ~ Quoted from Marianne Williamson in Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles This quote I heard in the movie Akeela and the Bee came at a time when I am starting to doubt myself. When my once dogged sanguinity are ossifying into reflexive bitterness, when I find myself frustrated for being stuck in a rut that I have landed myself in. And thoughts are powerful things. I am now witnessing how it is manifesting in my life. I convinced myself that i'm less now. less capable. less confident. less kind. less happy. But I realised nothing much has changed since the time when I think that I can do anything that I put my mind to. All that has changed is my state of mind. By thinking that I can't. I plainly and evitably can't. May I remind myself.... "If you think you are beaten, you are. If you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win, but you think you can't, It is almost certain you won't. If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out in the world we find, Success begins with a fellow's will - It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are outclassed, you are, You've got to think high to rise, You've got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man, But soon or late the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can!" ~ Quoted from Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill It is really up to me to tell myself, who am I not to be? amaranthine froze in time on 10:07 AM |
it does not take much effort to see past the mundane and notice the little details in life
