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. 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.”

Marianne Williamson

One of the most inspirational poems. This quote was also used in the movie Coach Carter. The film, which is based on a true story, is about a high school basketball coach who benched his undefeated team in 1999 because of poor academic results. It is one of my favourite movies. The main soundtrack of the movie is the hit song "Hope" by Twista (featuring Faith Evans). 5 stars. If you haven't watched the movie before or heard the soundtrack (what have you been doing!), I'd highly recommend it



Here is the trailer for the movie
