Thoughts of New Years Eve approaching have been tramping around.
Making, and keeping, my resolutions is important. Using the toaster more (2009). Check. Eating a cupcake every time one is offered (2010). Check. Eat more ice-cream (2008). Check.
Fail safe resolutions are key.
Except, fail safe equals easy.
Too easy.
Several quotes by Marianne Williamson are working their way into my resolution planning for 2011. This one in particular keeps laying around the house and looking at me.
"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."
Seriously, a deep thought resolution? Why couldn't I have been inspired to work more M & M's into my life in 2011?
