“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? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were 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 permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” - Marianne WilliamsonThis quote has often incorrectly credited to the 1994 Inauguration Speech of Nelson Mandela. In 1992, Marianne Williamson published, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles (Chapter 7, Section 3 (Pg. 190-191)).
This quote explains the Jonah Complex.
How are you selling yourself short?
How do you give away your power?
Who truly benefits from you not Self-Actualizing?
Is a lesser actualized YOU better for the world?
You and only you are keeping yourself from your full potential, the question is why?
