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?
actually, who are you not to be?
there is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
your playing small does not serve the world.
and when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
“your playing small does not serve the world”.
what kind of play does serve the world?
“when we let our own world shine.”
light is something that happens. just like water streaming down a mountain happens, and air happens. nobody sits there and produces sunlight, or manufactures air, or fabricates water. and these are the most important elements in life.
what is it that i have, that you have, that shines without having to produce, manufacture, fabricate, and which brings life to the world? what can we play that brings joy to those around us?
spread it freely!
(hmmmm ... i'm listening to bob marley as i type this. he sure knew how to spread joy through the world)
take care

That's not from Mandela. It is from Marianne Williamson.
