Playing Small Does Not Serve The World

“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 …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.”

Quote adapted from Marianne Williamson, Return To Love

Speaking your mind and saying what you believe is one of the most powerful things an individual or an organization can do. We are lucky to have the opportunity.

I don’t tell myself enough: Take Advantage Of It.
