Hey there, Jen here, and this is a happy bit. I just came across a quote from Salvador Dali,

who was a painter, and I love it. Here's how it goes. Every morning upon awakening,

I experience a supreme pleasure, that of being Salvador Dali. And I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will he do today, this Salvador Dali?

So what if you put your own name in there and you woke up thinking the same thing about yourself?

Here I'll try it.

Every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure, that of being

Jen Ryday. And I ask myself, wonderstruck, what prodigious thing will she do today this Jen

Friday? Try it out with your own name. It kind of gives you an amazing feeling. Now, if you have a hard time saying the Salvador

Dalai quote, waking up and thinking it's a supreme pleasure to be you and feeling

wonderstruck at the possibilities of the prodigious things you're going to do today,

think about this quote from Marianne Williamson, who 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.

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.

So shine, my friends.

Shine brightly.
