I loved this quote, what about you?
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 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 the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont
feel insecure around us.
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 every one of us.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically
liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson from A Return to Love
(famously quoted by Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech)
