our deepest fear

got this from a very inspiring movie "coach carter".
i'm so glad i rented it.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.


It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, 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 is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.


We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine,
we consciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
"

the verses from the movie was slightly different, without any inference to God or anything
(hence the words in bold).
but i think it's rather meaningful.
quite a good movie i must say.
