It’s in all of us

“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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.
It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when 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.”

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
i love that quote too. it’s quite powerful, ironcally.
“we are liberated from our own fear” and so we are, but sometimes we are just too scared to let fear into our lives. convention is the mother of unhappiness.
