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.
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 were all meant to shine, as children do.
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.

Ways to Make Money While Eating Beef
Jason and I went to eat steak tonight. It was an interesting night. The first thing was that our waiter looked, talked, and acted like B*nYu. It was very strange. But, his name was Gary.
Anyhow, I ordered a filet mignon. It was $17.99. I ate about half of my beef (super yum) and asked our waiter to pack up the rest. About 5 minutes later, the manager comes by to tell me that my leftovers got dropped, so he gave me two choices: 1) He could have the kitchen grill up a kid's portion sirloin steak or 2) He could "give me something for later." Thinking it over, I decided that my leftover filet mignon was worth more than an $8 kid's sirloin. So, I asked for the "something later." The manager walked away.
Gary returned and apologized for dropping my leftovers. I wasn't even bothered by the fact that my leftovers didn't make it back to the table. I don't think I could've eaten more steak as leftovers anyway. He offered free dessert, but Jason and I were pretty full. So we passed on that.
The manager returned after we paid and gave me a $20 gift certificate. $20!? That's more than my whole meal! And I got to eat! I was expecting like $10. Not bad. Anybody want to eat steak with me in July sometime??? I've also been told that this restaurant has the best Sam Adams on tap.
