Our Deepest Fear...
I recently saw these words of inspiration and I wanted to share them. I hope they touch someone's life:
"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 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 insecure 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. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
~From the 1994 inaugural of President Nelson Mandela of Sout Africa
