Are you playing small?

Take a few minutes to watch this powerful video from Tony.  After you've watched the video, grab your coaching journal and answer the following questions:

• When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

• What did you used to dream about doing?  What one thing have you not done that you really want to do?  What's holding you back?

• What did you love?
• What are your top three strengths now?
• How do you use these strengths to add value?  How could you add even more value?
• What do you love about yourself?

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 will not 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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
