Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,  Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,  Be there at our labors, and give us, we pray,  Your strength in our hearts, Lord, at the noon of the day.  Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,  Your hands swift to welcome, your arms to embrace,  Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,  Your love in our hearts, Lord, at the eve of the day.

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'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 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.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am optimistic and confident in all that I do.I affirm only the best for myself and others.I am the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21991]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am optimistic and confident in all that I do.I affirm only the best for myself and others.I am the creator of my life and my world.I meet daily challenges gracefully and with complete confidence.I fill my mind with positive, nurturing, and healing thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music doesn't lie.
