Our Deepest Fear

Here's an awesome quote that I recently shared with several of my guidance classes at Azleway. "Our Deepest Fear" was featured in the movie "Coach Carter" which stars Samuel L. Jackson. When I heard it I thought it was so true, and I really wanted the boys to see the clip of the boy quoting it in the movie....Something to think about!



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 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.”
