What you think you become.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
Three things cannot long be hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought; what we think we become.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not 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 is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.
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 about you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
Mind is everything. What we think, we become.

Understanding others is knowledge, Understanding oneself is enlightenment; Conquering others is power, Conquering oneself is strength.
