~~limiting beliefs

~~fear of jealousy

~~feelings of deservingness are shaky

~~fear of leaving your comfort zone for the unknown

One more for the road, and I think this is a biggie: For most of us in the US, we have been educated by schools that train us to "blend in," not to "stick out." I would be interested to hear from those of you in other countries. Has this been your experience, too?

Marianne Williamson also makes a great case for "sticking out":

"...as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."

Shine on!
