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 small does not serve the  world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people  won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children  do. 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 -
