Eerste herinnering

Het was een koude regendag. Er is familie op bezoek, ik hoor oma praten in de keuken en riek haar koffie. Ik zit in de rechterhoek van de woonkamer en ben ongeveer even groot als de rand van de keukentafel, waar ik al vaak ben tegengelopen. Voor me zie ik een rood kindertafeltje. Er ligt een puzzel op, maar er ligt meer speelgoed op de grond bij mijn grote broer. Hij is zoals altijd bezig met dingen in elkaar knutselen zodat ik er mee kan spelen.

The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep going forward. That's how winning is done. Now if you know what you are worth, go out and get what you are worth. But you got to be willing to take the hits. And not pointing fingers saying: You ain't what you want to be because of him or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that.

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. You^r 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 o 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
