Finding happiness in your life hinges on realising Who you truly are

Finding happiness in your life isn't easy until you understand who you really are.....

 

When I speak about 'who you really are' , I am not really sure many of you really know what it means exactly.
 

Well here's an often quoted passage that describes it better , perhaps than my words do. Pay particular attention to the highlighted words.

 

Our Deepest Fear

“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'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.”
