“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'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.”
