What is your Deepest Fear?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.....You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world....We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us......it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. by Marianne Williams

Ambition

"True ambition is the deep desire to live usefully and walk humbly under the grace of God." The Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions of AA P.125

This is the ambition I strive for everyday in all my affairs. I was told once that if I wanted to create a culture of life, a culture where peace and non-violence exists, than that is the life style I must live by. Today marks the five year anniversary of a tragic day in the history of our country. When I look back on this day I must remember to look at it through the eyes of peace and nonviolence. This I do by looking at the little ways we have changed. I will reach out my hand to my brother today and try to be of maximum service to all I encounter for I feel that is they way to bring peace to the earth.......one person at a time.
