Happy Life Tip of the Week, Issue #033- Masquerade as an Angel
October 28, 2009
Hello

Face your deepest fear by masquerading as your most powerful self.

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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 people won't feel insecure around you. 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 all of us. And when 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.

Halloween is now the second most popular holiday in the United States. Historically, Halloween combines several ancient holy days including a celebration to honor the dead, a celebration of the unknown spirits and deities that shape our world, and a sacrifice to gods for a good harvest next year at the time when the land seems to die in winter. It has always been a time of mystery, magic, and laughing in the face of fear. To many, it has become a time to indulge in our fantasies and in large hauls of candy.

But what if our greatest fear is our power to be brilliant, gorgeous, and talented as Mary anne Williamson suggests? If so, perhaps facing our greatest fear means the fear of being god-like, of being an Angel. Certainly that is one of the themes in Dan Brown's ( of the The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons) latest thriller, The Lost Symbol. Around the thrilling plot twists, this fanciful thriller takes the reader on a scavenger hunt through Washington DC looking for the ancient secret of immortality- apotheosis. Apotheosis is the assention of mortal into Heaven as a God.

If you want to do more than just masquerade as an Angel and start working on your own Apotheosis, start down the path to a happy life. Focus on using your strengths and virtues for good in the world. Or try one of the other pathways to a happy life outlined in the happiness formula. Whatever pathway you choose,…

Face your deepest fear by masquerading as your most powerful self.

Affirmation


I acknowledge my fear of my own power. I embrace it and face it every day by actively acting like the brilliant, gorgeous, and talented being that I am.

Journal or Meditation Question


What does it feel like when I am acting with my full power to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? When I am at my most fabulous, what do I want for myself and the world? What would I do if I knew I could not fail?

Happiness is Contagious.
