Giving Yourself Quotes - Page 2

• We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

So, like we're always trying to like have insurance policies on, ok, if that doesn't work, we can just jump to this thing.
