Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure...

full quote: “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.”

What are YOUR values?

"A life worth living can't be measured by the number of chances you didn't take, the distressing moments you avoided, or your allegiance to rules about feeling good. It's measured by the vitality that comes from living in accordance with you values and being willing to face both pleasurable and distressing experiences directly in the service of those values."
