Recite Invictus
Out of the night that covers me, Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Black as the pit from pole to pole, Looms but the Horror of the shade,
I thank whatever gods may be And yet the menace of the years
For my unconquerable soul. Finds and shall find me unafraid.
In the fell clutch of circumstance It matters not how strait the gate,
I have not winced nor cried aloud. How charged with punishments the scroll,
Under the bludgeonings of chance I am the master of my fate,
My head is bloody, but unbowed. I am the captain of my soul.

Recite the poem Our Deepest Fear
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.
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.
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. –
