Marianne Williamson's Quote

This inspiring quote by Marianne Williamson is from her book, "A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles". My earlier post about The Joy Diet had the first two sentences. I think the whole quote is even more powerful. I suppose I should get the book and read it.

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.

This is what I am working on right now for myself. It fits right in with my world-view of an abundant universe.
