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? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won\u2019t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It\u2019s not just in some of us; it\u2019s 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.<span class=\"qc\">\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"t1\"><em><strong><span class=\"qc\">Rest In Power to a great soul&#160;!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cOur deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
