Nelson Mandela has been given many credits for this powerful message but, it was actually written in a letter from Marianne Williamson to Oprah Winfrey. For many of you who don't know, Marianne is Oprah's "guru", and Oprah is an individual I view as one of my mentors.
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 does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel unsure 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 is in everyone. 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..." -- Marianne Williamson
This was shared with me by my coach, Sharon Moist. Brilliance and success is for anyone so, keep positive and know that everyone is a blessing.
Love,
Madison
