|
| "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, to be
gorgeous, talented, and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be? You are
a child of God. Your playing small doesn"t serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won"t feel insecure
around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God within us. And
as we let our light shine, we consciously give others permission to do the
same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically
liberates others." | |
|
Marianne Williamson
