\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nOur deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nIt is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

We ask ourselves,<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nWho am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nActually, who are you NOT to be? You are a child of God.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nYour playing small does not serve the world.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nThere is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won\u2019t feel insecure around you.<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n

We are all meant to shine, as children do.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nWe were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nIt\u2019s not just in some of us; it\u2019s in everyone.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nAnd as we let our own light shine,<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nWe unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nAs we are liberated from our own fear,<\/span><\/b><\/em>
\nOur presence automatically liberates others.\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/em><\/p>\n
