Author Marianne Williamson took A Course in Miracles and brought it into the modern world with her book A Return to Love. In the book, Williamson shares how the wisdom she drew from Miracles changed her life by rejecting fear and the behaviors based in fear. It is from A Return to Love that Williamson gave her most inspiring message that became an often quoted piece of advice: “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 doesn't 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.”
