Many years ago, I was watching a Brazilian movie and heard a quote which I tried to find the author for years. Some time later, I started to observe a few posts around the internet with that same phrase, with credits to Nelson Mandela, very likely because he has a very famous speech called “Our deepest fear”…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After a quick research, I managed to reach a page of a woman called Marianne Williamson and to my surprise, I found the whole poem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was love at first sight!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

He is the poem:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
\nOur deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
\nIt is our light, not our darkness
\nThat most frightens us.<\/p>\n

We ask ourselves
\nWho am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
\nActually, who are you not<\/i> to be?
\nYou are a child of God.<\/p>\n

Your playing small
\nDoes not serve the world.
\nThere’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
\nSo that other people won’t feel insecure around you.<\/p>\n

We are all meant to shine,
\nAs children do.
\nWe were born to make manifest
\nThe glory of God that is within us.<\/p>\n

It’s not just in some of us;
\nIt’s in everyone.<\/p>\n

And as we let our own light shine,
\nWe unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
\nAs we’re liberated from our own fear,
\nOur presence automatically liberates others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
