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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking so
that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are born to make 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 consciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own
fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Nelson Mandela
President of South Africa
