Nelson Mandela - I found this by the great man hanging above a toilet
Our deepest fear is not that
we are inadequate
our deepest fear is
that we are power full 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 the World
There is nothing enlightened about
shrinking so that other people
wont feel insecure around you
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us,
its not just in some of us, it's in everyone
and as we let our 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.
Nelson Mandela
