What's wrong with our society today? Contracts, agreements, lawyers...don't get me started.

My grandfather and my father taught me the value of the your words. The value of your follow through and committment to your agreements...even when it's hard, when you don't want to and even when you "feel" slighted or wronged. This is hard...hey...life is hard.

The moment when your words are consumated into an agreement happens upon the handshake. Your words followed by your agreement. The point that you say, trust me.

Let's not take this for granted any longer. The next time we are in the situation that requires a handshake, lets grip firmly, look into the others eyes and let them know with confidence and or authority that you will do what you said you were going to do, when you said you were going to do it.

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?” 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 born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people the permission to do the same.

As we are liberated for our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
