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're a child of God.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing

enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure

around you.

We are all meant to shine as children do. We are born to

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.
