“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’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 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’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

(This is a long post, and it’s not broken up with pictures or bullet points, so you probably can’t scan it. But that’s just the beginning of the blogging rules I’m going to be breaking…)
A bit of background, first…
Many of you know that in December 2008, Andy and I packed up our cottage in Cape Town, and moved to the UK, and I began converting my Cape Town face-to-face coaching business to a location-independent business. As someone who barely had an online presence at all, prior to December 2008 (I had a basic blogger.com blog that I updated once a month!), a big learning curve for me was
I read Leo Babatua’s post this morning with great interest. Apparently Leo used the phrase “feel the fear and do it anyway(R)” in a recent post, and consequently received a letter from Susan Jeffers’ lawyer, stating that the phrase is Susan Jeffers’ trademark, and telling him to add the trademark symbol and a line of copy attributing the phrase to Susan Jeffers. Leo had
In a recent teleseminar call, I talked about the idea that your fear isn’t a bad thing – it’s trying to do some very important and useful stuff for you (you can download the call recording here). Sometimes your fear is trying to protect you from lack or attack by alerting you to avoid a potential threat. And sometimes your fear is trying to point you in the direction of your most authentic dreams and values, and encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and grow. We’ve all heard Susan Jeffers’ famous phrase, “feel the fear and do it anyway,” but surely there are times when that’s not a good idea? It’s all very well if you feel
It’s been a busy year, we’re a quarter of the way into 2009, and for a lot of people it’s been a long, tough slog through anxiety and uncertainty. So I have a bunch of resources to help you cut through the anxious brain-jam, so you can think straight and get stuff done!
Last week I ran a teleseminar called, “How to Grow Through Fear.” Uncertainty, anxiety and fear seem to be such a resonant topic for so many people at the moment, and I got such a great response to the call that I thought I’d make the recording freely available.
