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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

''I do have sort of a spiritual center now that I didn't have
before,'' says Earle. ''But my spirituality is real retarded. It
basically consists of `I believe there is a God, and it ain't me.'
It's simple, but it works.''
