what's your deepest fear?

Ken 2022-03-25 09:01:08

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 insecure around you.
We were all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
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.
Our deepest fear is not our own powerlessness,
our deepest fear is our own great and unmeasurable power.
It is not our dark side that scares us most, but the light we can reveal.
A cringe attitude cannot change the world. Trying to hide yourself to make people around you feel at home makes no sense.
We all deserve to shine like children. This talent is not limited to specific people, but exists in everyone.
When we reach our potential, we unconsciously make others feel confident too.
When we free ourselves from fear, our existence automatically frees others.
