A revelation

 All your life you've wanted this one thing,it's been something that you've always kept at the back of your mind and close to your heart,but it would take a leap of faith to get it. It could be a job in a different town to a hobby you want to try. Though you've never went for it due to the barriers that people around you have put up. Maybe you don't want to leave your mom for that job and your friends find that hobby stupid. This quote by Marianne Williamson reveals the truth about your biggest fear and why it shouldn't even be fearful. Williamson bluntly writes the hidden truth,solution, meaning to our problems in a paragraph. She reveals the fact that we should all just be ourselves,and that once the stigma of "not being normal" is released from our minds we can finally perspire and be our best most inspiring selves. I connected personally most to the line:" there is nothing enlightened about shrinking yourselves so other people won't feel insecure" witch is true, because if you are going to commit to truly being yourself you can't shrink your personality and brilliance for others comfort. Also the act of not shrinking yourself will eventually inspire others to be their best, brightest selves. When I think about this quote and in particular this line I think about the photo I took in British Colombia around a year and a half ago, because of what it represents to me. It was the first time I ever felt free of my problems and inspired as this quote has. Mostly because I was realizing who I wanted to be. I didn't have anyone to tell me," it's too far away" or "you have people who need you" etc. I had no barriers or boundaries. It represents me not shrinking.
