We need to live by this right here, 4 real..........

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 fabulous?"
Actually WHO ARE YOU NOT to be?
You are a child of GOD.
Your playing small DOESN'T serve this world.
There is NOTHING enlighteneed about shrinking, so that other people won't feel insecure about 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 LIGHT SHINE, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are LIBERATED from OUR OWN FEARS, our presence AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS.
