what is your greatest fear?

to all my wonderful friends:

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.

(Used by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 inaugural speech; partially used in the movie "Coach Carter")

What is your deepest fear?
Share your light, my friend, that others may do, too!
