Our Deepest Fear

(I so love this poem by Marianne Williamson)

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 frighten 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.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking, so that others won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us;
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.
