Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

choose to take "pay it forward" farther - much farther.
