En palabras de Mandela

La idea de publicar esta cita de Nelson Mandela me la dio, sin saberlo, un colega y amigo de relativamente reciente "adquisición". Yo nunca la había leído ni escuchado y me parecieron palabras maravillosas que, evidentemente, necesito compartir:


Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.

We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,

gorgeous, handsome, 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 make manifest the glory of God within us.

It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give

other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,

our presence automatically liberates others.

~Nelson Mandela
