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?
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us.
It is not in just some of us - it is in everyone.
As we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Thank you, Nelson Mandela
