Our Deepest Fear Poem by Marianne Williamson
Our Deepest Fear
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's 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're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

The author of this poem is Maya Angelou, not Marrianne Williamson.
No, it's definitely Marianne Williamson. This portion has been on my desk for years. The book is wonderful. Williamson, M. (1992) . A return to love: Reflections on the principles of a course in miracles (pp.190-191) . New York, NY: HarperPerennial.
