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? 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.

Find Your Hidden Strengths
We often overlook what we naturally excel at, because it comes too easily to us, so we dismiss it as a "real" skill. However, uncovering these hidden strengths is our greatest resource to propel us forward in our lives. These questions may help you uncover yours:
- What do you do well even when you're half asleep or distracted?
- What are you "oddly good" at, even though you've never studied or trained for it?
- What mistakes do you rarely seem to make?
- What problems do you enjoy solving, even if they seem trivial?
- What patterns do you notice before others see them?
- How do you instinctively explain things to others? What are your go-to methods - storytelling, analogies, step-by-step logic, or emotional connection?
- What do you instinctively fix or improve, even when no one asks you to?
- What's something you do so efficiently that people assume your cutting corners when you're not?
- What decisions do you make faster than others
- What do people assume you put a lot of thought into, but you just do on autopilot?
- What’s something you never do the “right” way, but it still works?
- What’s something you think is totally unnecessary that most people take seriously?
- What confuses others that seems obvious to you?
- What’s a tool or method you use completely differently from how it was intended?
- What’s something you don’t stress about that everyone else seems to?
