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 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 is not just in some of us; it is 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."

i went to a sneak preview of "akeelah and the bee" tonight, and it was so inspiring. this quote was featured in the film and i just thought it was so great. i've never really seen it this way before. yet it's one of those things that is so true and we need to live like it's true. good thing it pretty much speaks for itself cuz i'm too tired to be deep right now...
