F.E.A.S.T. at Orem High School

I was invited to speak at the Orem High School Seminary F.E.A.S.T. last Friday (friends eating at Seminary together). F.E.A.S.T. is a lunch time devotional held once a month.
Bring your lunch, eat with friends and feel motivated and uplifted by the message.

I spoke about overcoming fears and setting and accomplishing goals.

I shared my favorite quote by Marianne Williamson about overcoming fears. It says, "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 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 doesn't 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. "

I shared some of my fears and insecurities that I have overcome.

Thanks for having me Orem High Seminary and thanks for coming out to listen.

Love, Hannah Harkness
