It's Graduation time and that means commencement ceremonies, inspirational speeches, family celebrations, and-once the festivities are over--questions of the future. At this time, when we acknowledge the best in each of our graduates, Cachet Baskets offers one of our favorite quotes on going forward and living your best life. Originally brought to fame when delivered by Nelson Mandela, it is an excerpt from Marianne Williamson's book "A Return to Love" and gives your graduate permission to embrace their future.
"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 doesn't serve the world. There's 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'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're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Help your graduate shine; put them firmly upon the path to success. And just to remind them how much you love them, and of your unconditional love and support, send them off on their next adventure with a gift as unique as they are--a graduation gift basket from Cachet Baskets. We'll customize it for your one-of-a-kind graduate.
Congratulations graduates! And happy trails!
