Becoming Ourselves

It is hard for me to admit but apparently I am a great deal more than I think I am, or so the response of others to me leads me to believe.  I think the same is often true of other people, which I frequently find myself telling them.  I am in the midst of a struggle to become myself. Personally, I have experienced several negative attitudes and comments directed at me which have left there mark.  I recall the comments of Williamson when she said "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.”
