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. 
We were born to manifest the glory of God within us. 
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people

permission to do the same.
