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 doesn´t serve the world. There´s 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 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 light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we´re liberated form our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.“
