“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 does not serve the
world.
There is 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.” - Marianne Williamson
