Don’t become jealous of the accomplishments of others, just keep plugging along at what you’re doing. Stay focused and soon enough your goals will be accomplished too!

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. -Vince Lombardi
“The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it. “
- Michelangelo
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’s 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’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Though often quoted as part of Nelson Mandela’s moving inaugural speech, “Our Deepest Fear” does not appear in the speech. Marianne Williamson herself has commented on this mistaken attribution.

We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.
