From the mouth of Nelson Mandela

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, now 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 the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so the other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within 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.
