"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 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 our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson, quoted by Nelson Mandela in his inaugural speech to South Africa
Sweet right? The future is in our hands, my friends.
