Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure...
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 fears, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Nelson Mandela

I love that quotation, the whole piece, actually. I used to think it was written by Nelson Mandela, since he used it in his inaugural address, but it's actually by Marianne Williamson, from A Return to Love. I remember giving my daughter a copy of this when she was in the very beginnings of her recovery from drugs a few years ago. They're some of the most inspiring words I've ever read.

It's amazing the education I've gotten from Google searches. : )
