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 frightens us
most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 people won't feel
insecure around you. We were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in
some of us; it's in all of us. And when 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.”

nice
couldnt have said it any better
and that picture is beautiful
I agree that picture is gorgeous. I love this poem... saw it a few years ago and it resonates so well. It is a challenge to be the best that you can be and truly discover who you are and what you are capable of.
