Light

I stumbled across this cleaning out my emails... Enjoy!

************************

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,
and amazing? 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 are 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 are liberated from
our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
