our deepest fear

"our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond all measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, georgous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the World. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others will not feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of that which is within us. It is not just in some, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

i love that.
