my 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."

this excerpt from a book called "Return to Love: A Course in Miracles" written by marianne williamson and also seen in the above movie called Coach Carter, is personally very inspirational and powerful to me. being the youngest in my family i feel that my deepest fear is being inadequate also, but its not that. i believe that i can be more than what i can be if i put my mind and soul into it, its just that i am too scared to take that next step to the next level of my life. fear is what makes me inadequate, it makes me feel that i am limited in my abilities but in fact I/we have all the abilities in the world to make something of ourselves we are just either too scared or we dont do it because in actuality we believe that people would judge us and we wouldnt want that because of our image or reputation, but the truth is that we are all the same person and that we are all capable of doing what we want to do its just up to ourselves to determine the outcome.
