Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are all powerful beyond measure,
It is our light not our darkness, that most frighten us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are we to not be?
You are a child of God,
Your playing small does serve the world,
And there is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are meant to shine as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within 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 liberate others.
It is our light not our darkness, that most frighten us.
We ask ourselves,
