....How big can it get ???

As a kid, the biggest thing there ever was for me, was a plane. Yes, an airlines plane. I related to it every time I explained how huge something was, or exactly how much I felt for someone or something. I used to tell my mom over and over how much I loved her, 'How much?' she used to ask fondly, 'Ummm... as big as an aeroplane!' I used to say making a heart shape and smiling. For quite some time, the aeroplane phenomenon charmed me as the greatest invention from mankind. But as I grew up and my horizons expanded, I learnt that where this world was full of far more intriguing things because of how big they were, yet the magnanimity of emotions were expressed at their best when found unawares in small things and brief, priceless moments.

Yes we are made for bigger things, bigger dreams, bigger glory. All of that is achievable if we are connected to the child within. Sometimes, just your innocence will do. Sometimes, you think you know someone for long, till the time you catch that one glance, that one look that answers so many questions at the same time. You suddenly realize why you're here with them. Something as small as a moment...

And when people I Love asks me how much I love them, I find no better way of expression than to fondly tell them, '... with a heart as big as an aero plane !'

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 is not just in some of us; it is 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.
