Nelson Mandela on NON-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, and fabulous? Actually, who are
you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing
small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing
enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine,
as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory
of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us,
it's 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." Nelson Mandela
