well spoken.

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 most. we ask ourselves,

"who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?"

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 people wont feel insecure around you.

we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within;
it's not just in some of us,
it's in all of us.
and when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people freedom to do the same.
as we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
