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 is nothing enlightening
about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure 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 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.
Marianne Williamson

wanted.

We know our flaws - at least most of them. We constantly face our weakness and our
damage. It can cause us to doubt we will ever live an exceptional life. It isn't true. If history
is any guide, struggling manfully against our deformities is the beginning of greatness.
Stephen Mansfield
