- Our
Deepest Fear
- Marianne
Williamson from A Return to Love page 165
-
- 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 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
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.
