A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

I like the words below, actually I think I first got it thru email, but only with the following sentences: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure."

I tried to search the Internet, and found below. There have been postings as well in the Internet that this was from Mr. Nelson Mandela, but actually these words were from the book, A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson. I am definitely going to buy my own copy in the future.

Below is from the website of Marianne Williamson. From her site, you can see that she has a lot of very nice books as well...

“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 you not 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.”
----from A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.
