OUR DEEPEST FEAR

Our Deepest Fear
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 frightens 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's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine
As children do
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 everyone

And as we let our own light shine
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same
As we're liberated from our own fear
Our presence automatically liberates others

May this be a blessing!
