OUR
DEEPEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE.
Our deepest fears are our immeasurable abilities;
IT IS OUR LIGHT, NOT OUR DARKNESS THAT MOST FRIGHTENS US.
It is the light within us, not the darkness, that terrifies us.
WE ASK OURSELVES,
WHO
AM I TO BE BRILLIANT, GORGEOUS, TALENTED AND FABULOUS?
Can I be smart, beautiful, talented, outstanding?
ACTUALLY WHO ARE WE NOT TO BE?
Can't we be such people?
YOU ARE A CHILD OF
GOD YOUR PLAYING SMALL DOESN'T SERVE THE
WORLD. THERE IS NOTHING ENLIGHTENED ABOUT
SHRINKING
SO THAT OTHER PEOPLE WON'T FEEL INSECURE AROUND YOU.
In order to eliminate the anxiety of the people around, it is not helpful.
WE ARE ALL MEANT TO SHINE AS CHILDREN DO.
We should be radiant, like children, to light up the world.
WE WERE BORN TO MAKE MANIFEST THE GLORY OF GOD THAT IS WITHIN US.
We were born to present the glory of God that is within us.
IT'S NOT JUST IN SOME OF US; IT'S IN EVERYONE.
This radiance of glory isn't just on some; it's on everyone.
AND WHEN WE LET OUR OWN LIGHT SHINE,
when we let ourselves shine,
WE UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVE OTHER PEOPLE PERMISSION TO DO THE SAME.
WE unknowingly allow others to shine their light.
AS WE ARE LIBERATED FROM OUR OWN FEAR OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY
LIBERATES
OTHERS OUR PRESENCE AUTOMATICALLY LIBERATES OTHERS OUR PRESENCE LIBERATES
OTHERS
