&ldquo;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 were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.&rdquo;
