Who are you NOT to be brilliant, successful and wealthy?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate;
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It’s our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

But what you want to be asking yourself is, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are each born to manifest the glory of God that is within each of us.

Remember, as you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Give the gift of true freedom to every one you know, by being your most brilliant self each and every moment.
