Our deepest fear is that we are

powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not or 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.

Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking

So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory

of God that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us; it’s 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 own fear

Our presence automatically liberates others.
