Attack thoughts towards others are attack thoughts towards ourselves. The first step in forgiveness is the willingness to forgive." ~Marianne Williamson

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."
