Tt's a question constantly asked ard by some people...
This question sparked my mind when i took some time to watch a movie i loved...
A basketball movie...
"Coach Carter"
I love this movie...
Still remember Timo Cruz... The character above...
A gangster that always hangs on the street...
One day sees his cousin shot dead...
And decides to change for the better...
Coach Carter always asks him "What is your deepest fear?"
Towards the end of the show...
He provides the answer to the question...
Here it is:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It's is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
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 all meant to shine as children do.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we are unconsiously giving other people permission to do the same,
as we are liberated from our own fear.
Our presence automatically liberates others.
That was an adaptation from a poem by Marianne Williamson...
Touching poem...
I finally understood the meaning of that poem...
Finally...
I threw away some old stuff from my cupboard and drawers...
Removed some memories...
