Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson
(from her book "A Return to Love")

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 and 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 about you. We were born to 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.

So...

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers

Reader Review:

Bill Butler (Tarzana, Ca. USA) - See all my reviews

This is a truly wonderful book. I don't know how she did it.
Conversationally speaking, did you know that the fears we carry in our pockets
or purses
that are not dealt with cause excruciating anxiety. What do we do? Add Vitamin
B
to our diet? Put crystals in our pockets? Become a yogi like me and levitate
until your head hits the ceiling? OR...we could do what we fear. How about
that for an idea. I think they spell that C-O-U-R-A-G-E. We don't need courage
anymore. We have tranquilizers and self-help books. I want to give you a
beautiful quote from this lady's infinite wisdom (she's incredible!). PUSHING
THROUGH FEAR IS LESS FRIGHTENING THAN LIVING WITH THE UNDERLYING FEAR THAT COMES
FROM A FEELING OF HELPLESSNESS. This book is just beautiful. The book
advocates COURAGE. But she she shows you how to be courageous. Postive
thinking,
the understanding between Pain and Power, the Real truth about RISKS and
GROWTH. You have to buy this book. It is a true gemstone. Throw all your other
self-help books away except this one and "Self-Help Stuff That Works" by Adam
Khan. Since I am a Self-Realizationist (Yogananda), this book interfaces with
it
quite beautifully. But this book is all you need for your fears. Go ahead.
And stop looking at whether you had a traumatic childhood or not as Father
Bradshaw advises. You destroy the past by what you do in the future. And this
book will help you do it. Good luck. And I'm not afraid of you anymore! HA!
