Our Fears

For those of you who may have missed the movie Coach Carter, my good friend Sheila read this quote to me and I wanted to share it with you.
"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 dark that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people don't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
We looked up the quote and found its source:
The "Our Deepest fear..." quote is originally from Marianne Williamson's book, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"
