Words

So I wanted to look up this quote for something - I remembered a few words and that it was attributed to Nelson Mandela. I searched Google and found the quote. I also found out that Mandela didn't say it at all, that it came from a Marianne Williamson book. I don't think it makes the words any less true or beautiful, but somehow it bugs me still that it wasn't Mandela.

"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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
