"We have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children"
- Patricia Sun
About this Quote
This quote by Patricia Sun speaks with the power of the human mind and how we typically utilize it to our own hinderance. We have the capacity to be fantastic, but rather of using our sparkle to reach our complete potential, we often use it to keep ourselves stuck in our own ignorance. This is because we hesitate of our own charm and brilliance, which might have frightened the grownups around us when we were children. This fear of our own capacity can be an effective force that keeps us from accomplishing our objectives and living our best lives. We need to learn to accept our own brilliance and utilize it to reach our greatest potential. Only then can we genuinely shine.
