You Are More Powerful Beyond Measure

Here is a powerful poem I heard while watching a movie. I know I have heard it over the years, but it caught me tonight, so I thought it might challenge you in your job search or on your job. Read it and then read it again and let it challenge you. Whether you are a job seeker or and employee or entrepreneur, I dare you to push past your fears and do something great even in the midst of tough times. I dare you!

“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 are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. 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. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
