Our Deepest Fear

OUR DEEPEST FEAR

IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE

OUR DEEPEST FEAR

IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL

BEYOND MEASURE.

IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT DARKNESS,

THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.

WE ASK OURSELVES, WHO AM I TO BE

BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED?

ACTUALLY WHO ARE YOU NOT TO BE?

YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.

YOUR PLAYING SMALL

DOES NOT SERVE THE WORLD.

THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENINGABOUT SHRINKING

SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON’T FEEL

INSECURE AROUND YOU.

WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE,

AS CHILDREN DO.

WE ARE 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 GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION

TO DO THE SAME;

AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR,

OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY

LIBERATES OTHERS!!!!
