Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

We ask ourselves' Who am I to be brllllant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?'

Actually, who are you not to be

? It's not that we can't do it.

What we're most afraid of is that our abilities are immeasurable.

We ask ourselves,

am I smart, generous, brilliant, brilliant?

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And

as we let our own light shine,

we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. Shine light on ourselves We unknowingly empower others to do the same

    Dr. Larabee: Bacteria don't exist on the Moon.

  • Dr. Larabee: Where do you think big words come from?

    Akeelah: People with big brains?
