“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 shrinking so 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'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.”

你是上帝的孩子。你的小心翼翼帮不了这个世界。
缩小自己，好让周围的人在你身边不会感到不自在，这样做并没有意义。
我们都必须闪亮。我们生下来就是为了彰显我们内在的上帝的光荣；
它不是只存在于一些人里面，它就在每一个人里面。
当我们让自己的光芒闪闪发亮，
我们也就在不知不觉中允许了别人散发光芒。
一但我们从自我的恐惧中解放出来，那麼自然而然的，
我们的存在就会让别人得到解放。
