Muslim Singlehood

Hi friends,

Recently, as I waited in a car repair shop, I passed the time by reading through a little inspirational book. I was so happy to have run across this statement. After receiving a weird look when I asked the receptionist to copy the page for me, I decided it was too good to keep to my self. Tahirah Taalib-Deen of the Tahirah Show said something to me like this once, and I'm beginning to understand what she meant. Thanks T for your wisdom!

Here it is:

"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 doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are 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."

by Marrianne Williamson (often wrongly attributed to Nelson Mandela, Former President of South Africa.)

Have the courage to let your light shine!
