Courage to Show Up

After a few months of labouring away at my website and innumerable number of fine-tunings, although still doesn’t seem perfect, I’ve decided to launch it today, on Chinese New Year’s Eve. On this pivotal day, I’ve decided to gather up all the courage to show up and greet the world and remembered one of my favourite quote from Marianne Williamson.

“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 is not just in some of us; it is 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”.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! May the new year bring you courage to shine your light brightly!
