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? There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.  We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.  It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. (Famously spoken by Nelson Mandela, written by Marianne Williamson)
