This is one of My Favorite Quotes,it reminds me to be bold even when I'm a little doubtful- how does it make you feel??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 frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' 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 people won't feel insecure around you. 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 all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” –Maryanne Williamson
Used by Nelson Mandela in 1994 inaugural speech.

Im feeling this quote, i never understood the whole holding back on doing to good so others wont feel inferior, when you do your thing or "shine your light" as maryanne says, others will follow and try to do good..Lets make it..BULLETTTTS to that chica Rosie
Thanks Jen! That's how I felt
Pierre, I never understood why people felt the need to take that route either...it's obviously better to lead by example then to be made out of one because you chose to fade into the background along with your light, is it not?
i absolutely LOVE this quote...
first time i ever heard it was in the movie Coach Carter..and EVERYTIME i see that part, i cry....it's beautiful..and so true...
Yes! Coach Carter- Great movie, he kept asking them what their biggest fear was throught until one of the players finally got it... it was quite moving
