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.
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.

Marianne Williamson
