Present – Mahatma Gandhi
“The future depends on what we do in the present.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
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’s 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’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
– Marianne Williamson

Heaven – Fra Giovanni
“No heaven can come to us unless our hearts
find rest in today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future that is not
hidden in his present moment. Take peace!
The gloom of this world is but a shadow.
Behind it, yet within reach, is joy.
There is a radiance and glory in the
darkness, could we but see, and to see
we have only to look. I beseech you to look.
Life is so generous a giver….”
– Fra Giovanni
