A great poem: As stated by Marianne Williamson,

 

 

 

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 frightens us.

 

 

 

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

 

 

 

You are a child of God. You’re playing small doesn’t serve the world.

 

 

 

There’s 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.

 

 

 

As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others” (Jack Canfield, 2000).
