Fashion is not beauty. Clothes do not make a woman beautiful - Confidence does. Marianne Williamson said, "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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other 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 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."

So often in this world we find ourselves shrinking to fit into a size that is not us, instead of being the tall beautiful shining stars that we are, just so we do not overwhelm the smaller people of the world. It is a criminal habit that many of our stature have fallen into. We were given a gift in our height. It is noticeable, it sparks interest, it creates awareness, and we should think of ourselves in just that way, gifted. Stand up and be noticed. Don't be afraid of the power that comes with such stature. Be full of the beauty you were given inside and out. Find your confidence and don't be afraid to let yourself shine!
