Our worst fear is not that we are INADEQUATE...

Our worst 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?
You are a child of GOD;
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 were born to manifest the GLORY of God wtihin us.
It is not just in some of us, it is in EVERYONE
And as we let our light SHINE
We unconsciously give other people PERMISSION to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own FEAR
Our presence automatically LIBERATES others.
