I liked this one...
From a journal of a friend of a friend:
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. You are. And your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in every one of us. 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.
