"Our deepest fear..."

Our deepest fear is not that we're inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we're powerful beyond measure. It is our light and 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're a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others will not feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. As you let your light shine, you subconsciously give others the right to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
