Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It's our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightening about shrinking,
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
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 light shine, we unconsciously
Give other people the permission to do the same.

Dit leerde ik vandaag. Nelson Mandela zei het in 1994. Ik vind het heel. erg. mooi. En erg van toepassing. Waar God staat, lees ik niet perse Onze Vader die in de hemelen zijt. Of misschien ook wel. Maar van 'het universum' ben ik ook altijd wel gecharmeerd. Lees en interpreteer hoe je wilt. Ik vind het een prachtige levensles.
