Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, ou 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?
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 just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to to the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presense automatically liberates others.

That's my favorite quote, ever (that's not from a show, that is...) I used to have it memorized, but I don't think I do anymore. One of the most amazing speeches ever given. Thanks for posting it.
