Being Yourself

It's not easy, I know. All around us, there are billions upon millions of reasons why we should NOT be who we truly are, but a mere figment of the society.
  Why don't we want to stand out?  Is it because we are afraid of what if? What if people will

think I am so-and-so? Well, this might be hard to understand, but NOT being you is a waste of who you are!
  You were MEANT to be who you are, not who you think you should be! Daringly STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD!
  
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.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. 
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are 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.
