The man or woman who concentrates on "Things" can hardly be trusted to use those things for the essential good of mankind. Only those who have guided the development of their spirit as well as their mind are really qualified to use wisely the things that man's reason has enabled him to fashion out of nature's raw materials.
- E. S. Fields
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, nor 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?
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us.
It is not in just some of us - it is in everyone.
As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others."
- Nelson Mandela
