Just came across this quote from Marianne Williamson on Alex Karis' site: http://alexkaris.posterous.com/. I've seen it before, but it's worth sharing again.

“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.”

On trying to stay positive

It's a tough haul, trying to stay positive sometimes. Everywhere you turn there are people trying to knock you down. Not always on purpose and not always people you personally know. There is a lot of negativity in the media that surrounds us. So it takes some effort to sort through the garbage and find the real gems, like this one: The Art of Non-Conformity. Check out the inspiring content and fantastic site design.

Some other great sites which will inspire you (your mileage may vary) include Project Happily Ever After; The Happiness Project; and Experience Life Fully.
