This Is My Favorite Poem!!!!!

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, fabulous? Actually, who are younot to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

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

My thoughts:

This poem reminds me that it is up to us to determine our light, we are a blessed child of God, and we all have the same ability. The fear that we place on ourselves is what limits us. So remember this poem next time you doubt yourself, or are having a moment of self pity. As we all have the ability to Liberate ourselves from the chains of fear.

May you have a blessed night and may the sunlight of tomorrow give you strength and energy to have a great day!
