Transcript

Hey, hey, hey. What is your deepest fear, young man? It's going. >> Why you keep saying that? What's your deepest fear? What that mean? >> Our deepest [music] fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. >> [music] >> It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking [music] so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were all meant to shine as children [music] do. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our [music] own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated [music] from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. Sir, I just want [music] to say thank you. You saved my life.
