I'm high and I'm in.
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?
You are a child of God. Your playing
small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you.
We were born to 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 are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

Inaugural Speech

Quite the intelligent man, that guy was.
