Have you been told you can’t be a good musician, writer, speaker, scholar, athlete, scientist or any other thing you have ever thought of doing? Why can’t you prove them wrong? Your keeping quiet and conceding defeat only prove that their conclusion about you is correct. But consider this thought-provoking insight from Marriane Williamson: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is ...
