"As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Dear Journal,
I came across this quote below, and as one is wont to buy and stock up medical supplies, not for immediate use, but for periods of urgent use or first aid, when a trek to the pharmacy is unbearable and impossible, I'll also save this here.
Somehow, I deeply feel its future need, so store this for when its use will be required.

"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. Your playing small does not 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 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."

PS: I don't know the author of that quote, but whoever it is, wherever that soul is, "Thank You".
