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 doesn’t serve the world. 

There is 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 that is within us. 

It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. 

And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear…

Our presence automatically liberates others.
