“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.
