My deepest fear is not that I am inadequate, My deepest fear is that I am powerful beyond measure, It's my light, not my darkness that most frightens me, My playing small does not serve the world, There is nothing enlightened about shrinking, So that other people won't feel insecure around me, We were all meant to shine as children do, It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone, And as my let my own light shine, I unconsciously give other people permission to do the same, As I am liberated from my own fear, My presence automatically liberates others.
