Our deepest fear

OUR DEEPEST FEAR – gedicht van Marianne Williamson

Een prachtig gedicht van Marianne Williamson, uit haar boek ‘Return to Love’. Wanneer dat beter voor je voelt kun je in haar gedicht ‘God’ vervangen door ‘the Universe’. Het gedicht past zo mooi bij de dienstverlening die ik aanreik, om de mooiste versie van jezelf te zijn en jouw mooiste leven te leven. Je hebt zo veel potentieel en kracht!

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 (the Universe).

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 (the Universe) that is within us.

It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.

Ans as we let our 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.
