"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate...[it] is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won't feel insecure around you...It's not just within some of us, it's in everyone. When we let our light shine, we unconsciously give to other people permission to do the same. When we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

~Marianne Williamson
