Our Deepest Fear
By Marianne Williamson

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.
Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as chilodren do.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give people permission to do the same
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

"Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." -Conrad Hilton
