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.
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.
It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
『我們最大的恐懼，並不是因為我們不夠好，
我們最大的恐懼，是我們超乎想像的能力，
我們害怕的是我們光明，而不是黑暗的一面，
畏縮的態度不能改變世界，
隱藏自己內在的潛能…並不會讓你身邊的人，覺得更有安全感，
我們都應該發揮最大的潛能，就像小孩子那樣，
不只是我們其中的幾位，每個人都一樣，
當我們讓自己發光時…我們不自覺地影響到身邊的人，讓他們也能這麼做，
我們不但擺脫了自己的恐懼…我們的存在也自然的解放了別人。』
