"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 and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be.
We are each children of the Creator.
Playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around us.
We were born to make manifest the glory
of Creation that is within us.
Its not just in some of us. Its 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!!"
~ Nelson Mandela
