Our Deepest FearBy 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 darknessThat most frightens us.
We ask ourselvesWho am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God.
Your playing smallDoes not serve the world.There's nothing enlightened about shrinkingSo that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,As children do.We were born to make manifestThe 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.
