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're playing small doesn't serve the world ... As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
