Our Deepest 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 most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
or gorgeous,
or talented,
or fabulous?
Actually, who are NOT to be?
You are a child of God.
You playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest
the glory of God within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in every one of us.
And, as let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear of our own excellence,
our presence automatically liberates others.
