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 a small part doesn’t serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people around you

won’t feel insecure.

We are all meant to shine as children do.

We are born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. 

It is 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically releases others.
