SHINE

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.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, 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 are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.

As we let our own light shine,
We give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
