MKE Blog Week 23 – Our Deepest Fear

In preparation for Week 23 of MKE, Mark played a clip from the movie “Coach Carter” in which one of the students recited a verse regarding “Our Deepest Fear.” I had not seen the movie. But did a little research, and discovered that the verse was an excerpt from the book “A Return to Love”, written by Marianne Williamson in 1992.

This scene struck a chord with me. Simply said, it states that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure.

All of my life, all I wanted to do was fit in. I was playing small, and as it turns out, it did not serve me well, and probably short-changed those around me as well, because I did not give them my best. I still do not know what my best is yet, but I cannot look back because I cannot change the past. All I can do is to give my best today, and let my light shine. Who knows how far those ripples will go?
