What
would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
"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 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 were born to make manifest
the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us;
it's in every one.....
And
as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the
permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our fear, our
presence automatically liberates others. "

Williamson - 'A Return To Love' 1992

Mandela's Inaugural Address, 1994, as some seem to
believe]
