I just read this. It's by Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles 

“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.”

I love this quote. I posted it at my work space last tax season. It speaks so directly to my fear of success. And it also speaks to my belief that everyone one manifests the devine, and how contagious positive living is! I wish you much success in your new venture! Cate
