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.
我們最深的恐懼並非是我們力不能及。
我們最深的恐懼是我們的力量無可限量。
令我們恐懼的是我們的光芒，
而不是我們的黑暗。
我們都會捫心自問
我是誰，怎樣才能燦爛奪目，才華橫溢？
其實，妳要問，妳怎麽能不是誰？
妳就是神之子。
妳的碌碌無為
無益於世界。
退縮並非明智之舉，
以為這樣就不會讓人們不安。
我們註定要光彩照人
就像孩子壹樣。
我們生來就是為了展現
我們心中上帝的榮耀。
它並非只是少數人擁有；
而是藏在每個人的心中。
當我們讓自己的光芒閃耀，
我們就在無意中默許他人去做同樣的事。
當我們從自己的恐懼中解放，
我們就自然而然地解放他人。
