“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. We ask ourselves, ‘ Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?’ Your playing small does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God 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 others permission to do the same, and as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
