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?
You are a child of God
Your playing small does not 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's not just in some of us; it's in everyone
And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give
other people the right to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others
