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 feel insecure around you. 　　We are all meant to shine, as children do. 　　It is not just in some of us; it is 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.
