What is our deepest fear?
In Return to Love Williamson explains: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’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, 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 when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
This quote was there in the movie "Coach Carter". One more sports movie on the lines of "Remember the Titans". When , after a close defeat, the coach asks what is your deepest fear. A basketball team member quotes this. I liked the quote very much.
When will I get rid of my fears and find my light ??

Interesting way to put it. Though, I feel it's mostly toying with words. What does it talk about? complacency? lack of self-confidence?
I feel my worst fear is underachievement. On the death bed, I don't want to think that I had the potential to reach much further, but I came upto here only.
I can bet, Hagga fears nothing more than those "bandar-chaap" dogs in your gully here in Bangalore :)
On repeat read last part drags a bit. But the second line. "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure". This is absolutely amazing. I dont know why. but whenever I read this line there is a tingling in my stomach :).
he he he pj... interesting (ur comment i mean)
though teri post nahi samajh aayi mujhe.... the speech is a lil too vague for lesser mortals like me ..
we kind of like more practical things u know.. :-) btw, watch "In the name of the father" if u get a chance.. in ur lan etc.. mast movie. real life
Yaar it has something to do with that I can't find out what I want to do. Everything seems a bit crappy :(. Still vague. Can't help. Quote to mujhe bhi bahut dhang se nahin chamka ;).
Watch "Lost in Translation" Every bit of exaggeration in that about Japs is not exaggeration :D.
