“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 most. We ask ourselves, 'Who
am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 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 all of us. And when
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.”
