Our greatest fear...

This quote (which I believe is written by someone else as part of a poem? Anyone know whether this is correct?)was part of Nelson Mandela's inauguration speech in 1994. When I heard him say these words I got goosebumps all over. They are so powerful! Now I have it up on my wall at work and read it every day.... and it still gives me goosebumps. Enjoy!

"Our greatest 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 doesn't 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 are 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."

Wow !!
