053.Powerful Beyond Measure

"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 does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory that is within us. And as we let our 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."

~Sebagaimana dikutip dari Marianne Williamson oleh Nelson Mandela dalam inaugurasinya sebagai presiden Afrika Selatan

Kutipan dari Nobel Laureate Nelson Mandela ini sangat mengusik kalbu.
Bagaimana tidak? Selama ini banyak orang yang menilai saya "overconfident".
