Wisdom

I discovered this in my papers. It was attributed to Nelson Mandela, or some other sage. Maybe it will speak to you and you can make it a mantra as have I.

“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 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.”
