Really love this quote. Must share!
Well, for those of you who have not watched Akeelah and the Bee, it's such a waste. I watched it twice, and I still think it's an amazing show. Great acting..inspiring. Brought my kids to watch it on Monday, and even they thoroughly enjoyed it. WHat's the most inspiring is the quote that comes up twice throughout the show. It is so meaningful, and I really love it. Felt I had to share with all of you...
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?
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other peopls 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's in everyone.
And as we let out own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberated others.
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?
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that
other peopls 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's in everyone.
And as we let out own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberated others.
Beautiful, ain't it?
