DO YOU THINK YOU ARE ALL POWERFUL?

What do you think? Do you dare think that you are all powerful? Do you reserve that solely for God? If so, regardless of your religious belief system, do you believe that God is within each one of us? And if he/she is---and we believe God to be all powerful, then are we not all powerful as well? Below is something that Nelson Mandela read at his Inaugural Speech in 1994. I’m interested in what you think.

Our Deepest Fear
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 shrinkingso 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 is not just in some of us; it is 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.
