Our Deepest Fear

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, 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 shrinking
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
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…
