this may not apply at all...but when I feel self destructive...it's usually because I think I don't deserve whatever it is for whatever reason...that I need to pull back and expect less...so I put this on my desk...for my students...well and me :)
It's an adaptation on a famous quote...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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
thx Charlie! I saved it....can you email it to me too??? When I saved it...it gets all blurry when I blow it up to read the crimes...am I really that blind???
RE: What do you think.....
I guess we just all have different talents!
