Fortification for flying (re-post, sort of)

Today is about fortification for flying. We need nourishment. That can come in many forms. For me it has come in the form of great friends. Other times we need encouragement and sometimes we just need to be reminded not to be less than who we truly are. We were made for flying!

A Return to Love

Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles

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 dark, 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

that is 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 the permission

to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,

our presence automatically liberates others.
