Our Greatest Fear
Marianne Williamson from her book A Return to Love

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, which frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who am I not to be?
I am a child of Gaia.

My playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that others will not feel insecure around me.

We were born to make manifest the glory of Gaia within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
others permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
