You said you know me
But do you really know me?
```````````Our Deepest Fear``````````
Saturday, August 27, 2005 / 1:20 PM

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
Your playing small does not serve the world
There's nothing enlightening about shrinking,
So that other people won't feel insecure around you
We were all meant to shine as children do
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.
