Inspirational quote

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. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? 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 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's not just in some of us; it's 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.

Enjoying what we do?

Why do we do something which we don't enjoy?

Am I really enjoying what I am doing? If I say yes, it is a plain lie! Why am I feeling tired and uninspired? When did it turn from something I really enjoy to a chore? When did I begin yearning for the weekends and start dreading Sunday evenings?

Then the million dollar question crops up - why am I doing something, which I don't enjoy? The reason probably is the unwillingness to disturb the status quo! Also may be I have no courage to adapt to new challenges brought in by a change?!

We spend the vast majority of our lives working, and while it won't all be wonderful and satisfying, we need to make changes before we hit a point of no return -- when our dissatisfaction begins a downward spiral!

But do I know what I want to do, that makes me/keeps me happy?
