"Our greatest fear is not that we are
inadequate,but that we
are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our
darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves
"Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented
and fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be?
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 were born to manifest the
glory that is within us.
It is not just in some; it is 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
fear,
our presence automatically
liberates others.
Marianne Williamson from her
book "A Return to Love" |
