From Fear to Liberty
Our
worst 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? You
are a child of God; your playing small doesnt
serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people wont
feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God
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 fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
