I was watching Coach Carter this weekend, the movie/true story about a black coach that went back to his community high school to coach the basketball team and ended up changing lives by instilling the importance of education among the student-athletes. all throughout the kept asking his players what their greatest fears were and i was wondering why, until i heard the answer towards the end, i understood it all then and there and the answer sparked something in me, i'm not easily sparked, especially by a movie but the answer did touch me and made me want to work for the betterment of the world even more now, so now i am sharing the response with the rest of you all:

‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond imagination. It is our light more than our darkness which scares us. We ask ourselves – who are we to be brilliant, beautiful, talented, and fabulous. But honestly, who are you to not be so?

You are a child of God, small games do not work in this world. For those around us to feel peace, it is not example to make ourselves small. We were born to express the glory of god that lives in us. It is not in some of us, it is in all of us. While we allow our light to shine, we unconsciously give permission for others to do the same. When we liberate ourselves from our own fears, simply our presence may liberate others.’

- Marianne Williamson in Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles

Please read and enjoy, let the words resonate through you and if u get a chance, watch the movie too, it was worth it.
