Nelson Mandela - I found this by the great man hanging above a toilet

Nelson Mandela

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
