Our Deepest Fear By Marianne Williamson

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 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 Does not 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
