Text: Marianne Williamson
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 the Universe.
Your playing small doesn’t 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
the creator within us.
It is not just in some of us, it is in all of us,
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.
