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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automaticwally liberates others.

This has always been one of my favorites. So inspiring. Hey, I'm reading a "controversial" book, thought of you. :) It's more of an intellectual read than I'm used to, very thought provoking. The Fountainhead. Heard of it? I guess it's a whole movement of sorts. Not as inspiring as this quote you posted, but still makes you think. Anyway, later!
Haven't read it,but might have to look it up! Thanks!
