Be the light

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 frighten 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 that other people won´t feel insecure around you 
we were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us
it´s not just in some of us,
it´s in everyone
And as we let out light shine
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
We are liberated from our own fears.
Our presence automatically liberates others.
