quoted

"...

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 and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God
that is within us.
It is not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same.
And as we are liberated from our own fears,
our presence automatically liberates others.
