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 frighten 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 born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us
It is 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.
