Our Greatest Fear by Marianne Williamson

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?

You are a child of God

Your playing small does not serve the world

There's nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone

And as we let our 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.
