A thought for the day

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 mosts frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am i to be?
brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually who are you not t be?
You are a child of god.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other people won't feel insecure around you.
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 unconciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presense
automatically liberates others.
