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[Hatred is blind, as well as love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18838]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is blind, as well as love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had quite a few vehicles slide off the highway. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30796]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had quite a few vehicles slide off the highway.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30796</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think Chase and Bank One will let that happen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35534]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't think Chase and Bank One will let that happen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35534</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Don't give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ambition is the last refuge of the failure. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14940]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14940</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48022]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise undeserved is scandal in disguise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16852]]></link><description><![CDATA[A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be.
