I watched "Coach Carter" last night with the family...a pretty good movie. But there was a poem quoted in the movie that reached my heart... I chased it down and wanted to post it. Maybe it will inspire you to reclaim a dream or maybe you'll just appreciate the dreams of others. Either way, I hope it makes you think a little.

Our Greatest Fear


by Marianne Williamson



it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
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 were born to make manifest the glory ofGod that is within us.It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,we unconsciously give other peoplepermission to do the same.As we are liberated from our own fear,Our presence automatically liberates others.
