Our Deepest Fear

An insperational poem often heard in movies like coach carter, finding forrester and some others. It is a short poem entitled "Our 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 as I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talentad 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 shringking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
   We are all ment 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 was from the book "A Return To Love: Reflections On The Principles Of A Course In Miracles" by Marianne Williamson
