permission to do the same

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? 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. 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. As we are liberated from our own 
fear, our presence automatically liberates others. 

Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles," 1992
