Think About This.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. 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, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were 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."

1st Stripe.

Tonight I earned my first stripe on my white belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class.  It was for finally getting my first official tap-out against a more experienced person(submission was an armbar).  I was completely surprised to be getting a stripe so soon.  I still feel like I am such a newbie and that I have SOOOOO much to learn but I am getting better.  And I am LOVING it!
