Our Greatest Fear

This is probably one of the best poems I've ever come across. I highly recommend reading it. Then I suggest you think about it, haha. :)

OUR GREATEST FEAR

It is our light not our darkness, that most frightens us.
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 does not 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.
It's not in just 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.
~Marianne Williamson

Sort of rocks societal ideas, hm? Especially in this day and age. So basically go ahead and be yourself, yo. :)
