if I start to feel nervous about the triathlon I'm doing, I'll think of this (fyi - get a tissue handy)

thoughts on birth, motherhood, and life
"Goals are dreams with deadlines"
-Diana Scharf Hunt
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 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 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 premission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.- Marianne Williamson

Why didn't I believe you when you said get the tissue ready? Oh, the enormousness of human potential...
wasn't it amazing? I have thought about this on my run each day, when I didn't feel like taking another step!
