Most times we don’t value ourself, we look for excuses to look down on ourselves but quick to appreciate others. Always looking out for people’s nod or acceptance. As I was reading the above book “even eagles need a push” I came across this.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light that frighten us, not the darkness. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented or fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small does not serve the world, and there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us but in everyone. As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same”
This is not talking about being arrogant or seeing yourself as being better than others but giving yourself a pat on the back when necessary and appreciating yourself for who you truly are.
Remember: You are unique in your own way.
