Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure
Spark #40 - Stop hiding. Stop pretending. Start speaking up.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
This quote by Marianne Williamson hits me deep every time I read it. It reminds me to stop playing small, and pushes me to step up. Sometimes it nudges me, sometimes it shakes me. It encourages me to trust my strength, to use my voice. Again, to use my voice.
I hope it stirs something in you too.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.1
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 does not serve the world.
There is 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 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.”
