Our deepest fear

این نوشته بخشی از سخنرانی های نلسون ماندلا هستش که من خیلی ازش خوشم اومد و خیلی دلم می خواست که اینو برای همه بذارم
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 doesn’t serve world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are 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 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
