I received this from a good friend and wanted to share:

Marianne Williamson once said that our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. The truth is that the naysayers in your life - those who seek to pull you down every time you exceed their expectations for you - can never be fully satisfied. Whether you hide or shine, they'll always feel threatened because they don't believe THEY are enough. Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your Creator gave you and destroying your design.

What I know for sure is this: You are built not to shrink down to less, but to blossom into more. To be more splendid. Te be more extraordinary. To use every moment to fill yourself up.
