Do you expect them to be stuck, limited and incapable?
Do you feel sorry for people and believe they are helpless?
Do you define others by their apparent inabilities and labels?
Do you inspire and encourage others to give their best?
Do you allow others to exceed the perceived limitations?
Do you challenge yourself to always give 100%?
Do you demonstrate enthusiasm and self empowerment?
Are you a source of inspiration or a source on consolation?
Do you lift others up with your thoughts, words and deeds?
Do you offer words or encouragement and appreciation?
Do you remember the God, the Good, the unlimited potential in All?
Now is a time in our history when we seem to have become tired and complacent.
The laziness and lethargy in our culture is holding us down in consciousness.
We need to realign ourselves with what is possible with each one of us.
Everyone does make a difference.
We make a difference with a smile or a frown.
We make a difference with thumbs up or thumbs down.
We make a difference with laughter or a moan.
We make a difference in how we talk and where we walk.
You are making a difference right now as you read these words.
Do you let them inspire you or allow them to deflate you?
Do you use them to remind you or let them confound you?
Life is a lesson of hope, faith and love or one of despair, distrust and fear.
You can choose how you use and respond to those you encounter.
You can be the one who makes the change and creates the world you want to see.
You can offer your blessing or your damnation on what you perceive.
Life is an opportunity to lift up or put down yourself and all you know.
Only you and I determine which way we go.
Whether soft or strong, you command a large audience of friends and strangers.
Each one is receiving gifts of worth and wisdom from your.
You determine the way the world turns.
Let us inspire and empower one another to be awake, aware, creative and enthusiastic.
Loving you and me as we set all free to be the best we can be!

“Our Greatest Fear”
Our greatest 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 and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that others 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.
