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?”

When, in actuality, who are you not to be?

You are a child of the living 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 are all born to 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 out own light shine; we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,

Our presence automatically liberates others.
