Deep Spirits

Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our biggest 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?

You are a Child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
won't be insecure around you.
We were born to make magnificent the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others.
