“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. <br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. <br /> It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. <br /> We ask ourselves, <br />Who am I to be brilliant, <br />gorgeous, <br />talented, <br />fabulous? <br />Actually, who are you not to be? <br />You are a child of God. <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world. <br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. <br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do. <br />We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. <br />It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. <br />And as we let our own light shine, <br /> we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. <br /> As we are liberated from our own fear, <br />our presence automatically liberates others.” <br /> <br />NELSON MANDELA<br /><br />g black Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-deepest-fear-2/
