Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
but that we are powerful beyond measure.
—Nelson Mandela
Reflection
Why is it that we are afraid of our own power? Our
own potential? What is it in us that makes many of us
hide our light under a bushel? What are those poten-
tialities for knowing and experiencing which we can-
not or will not exercise? We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us. Our task in
life is to free ourselves from the bondage of our self-
centered fear and bring our gifts to the world.
Affirmation
I know my fear is nearly always a bogeyman and not
based in reality. I want to see my fear for what it truly
is. My own dark projection of myself.
