Our Deepest Fear

An excerpt from A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

(((The first time i heard these lines from the movie Coach Carter, it really strucked my heart, mind, and soul. Although there were lines that were removed, still the essence was very deep. Read it slowly and carefully and you’ll decipher what i mean and be able to know why))))

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 does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure about you. We were born to 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.
