“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
— Nelson Mandela
“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, and fabulous? Actu-
ally, who are you not to be? ... We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are 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 per-
mission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automati-
cally liberates others.”
---Marianne Williamson
