One of my favorite quotes

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deeest fear is that we are 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 shirinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is 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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others.
