"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? ...... Your playing small does not serve the world. There's
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel
insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do.
...... It's not just in some of us: it's in everyone. And as we let
our 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." -Nelson Mandela
