“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.â€
~Marianne Williamson

She addresses both established Christianity and Judaism in statements such as "You've committed no sins, just mistakes." Her earliest renown was for her talks on A Course in Miracles, a step-by-step method for choosing love over fear. She credits her breakthrough to Oprah Winfrey who invited her on to The Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss Williamson's first book A Return to Love, a book of which Oprah bought one thousand copies.
