Fear
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 doesn’t
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 subconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are
liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
