We ask ourselves....

This has always been one of my favorite quotes. It liberates me and it should help each of us strive to be our very best. This does not mean stepping on others along the way, instead we should reach out and pull them along with us until they have enough momentum to keep themselves going.

"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.”

So be your best. Don't let someone else stop you from shooting for the stars.
