Famous words.

I´ve just read the closing part of my guide book and the author shares a quote by one of my favourite spiritual teachers, Marianne Williamson. The words were used in Nelson Mandela´s Freedom speech as well. I could not agree with John Brierly more about appropriate words at this point. So I would like to share that quote here.

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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking,

So that other people won´t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it´s in everyone.

And as we let our 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.
