Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

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.
- Marianne Williamson

find an ample measure of my own joy.

to learn something new, meet a new friend,
bring joy into someone's life,
feel the wind newly on my skin,
touch a new fear, a new anger,
and with focused intent and good fortune,
find an ample measure of my own joy.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

is a greater gift than a steak dinner served brusquely.

with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.
