Today has been one of the most amazingly uplifting and empowering days that I have ever experienced. Every where I turned today I came into contact with something profoundly encouraging and inspirational. I'd like to offer you the same privilege now...
Have you ever seen the movie Coach Carter? I never did, but I ran into this one part of the movie on YouTube that quotes Marianne Williamson's "Our Deepest Fear." I seriously have no further words to share on the subject, other than the actual quote. You'll understand what I mean after you've read it!
Our Deepest Fear
By, Marianne Williamson
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's 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're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
