Philosophical Monday: Our deepest fear

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.  Playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We were all meant to shine as children.  Not just in some of us, but in everyone.  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.
