Comfortable

So one of the best compliments I've ever gotten is this - "I feel totally comfortable around you, like I can just be myself." A good friend told me this tonight, and it's interesting because I'm at a point in my life now where I feel the most comfortable with who I am ... comfortable in my own skin. I was thinking about this and this quote came to mind:

"Our worst 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 so brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are we not to be? You are a child of God: Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God 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 other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson

"Liberated" is the perfect word here. As we come to know ourselves and accept and love who we are, a feeling of sweet freedom fills the soul and is actually contagious. It is then that we can be taught by our Father what it is we are to do, what our individual contribution will be, and how we can achieve it.

It's late so I hope all these thoughts actually have some connectedness. If not, my apologies. Hee hee. You lucky, unsuspecting blog readers are subject to the random ramblings of a tired girl tonight. I'll write again soon.
