Our deepest fear

Here's a text I came to think about the other day. It's a text from the wonderful film, Coach Carter. When you've read it. Please stop for a moment and think. Think of what it really means. What it means to you. What it could mean in peoples life around you. But most of all. What it could mean in your life tomorrow.

"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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. 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.”
