Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measures. It is our light, not our darkness that most 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. You playing small does not serve our world. There’s 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 manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, as we’re liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
