“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 does not serve the world. There
is 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 is not just in some
of us; it is 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.” ~Marianne Williamson
