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 doesn’t serve the world.
There’s 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.
