"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's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people  won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children  do. 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 own  light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the  same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically  liberates others." - Marianne Williamson
