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)

i very much love this quote. i feel empowered after reading it. but if placed in unwise hands this could create a monster. before we let our amazing powers go to our heads, one must assume a place under the vast sky, and accept oneself as small and somewhat powerless. this must humble us, but in this same realization, we must also know that we truely ARE amazing beings, but not let it turn out a fool. our light can shine brighter than the sun, if we let it. if we light others hearts as well as our own.

It started off well. But I tuned off after the child of God part. "Look at me! I'm a child of God!" Uh.. No. I am me.
