2000 B.C. - &quot;Here, eat this root.&quot;<br /> 1000 B.C. - &quot;That root is heathen, say this prayer.&quot;<br /> 1850 A.D. - &quot;That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.&quot;<br /> 1940 A.D. - &quot;That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.&quot;<br /> 1985 A.D. - &quot;That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.&quot;<br /> 2000 A.D. - &quot;That antibiotic is artificial.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson
