What is your deepest FEAR?
What is your deepest FEAR?
 What is your deepest FEAR?
• “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. 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 are all meant to
shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our
own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

• Movie: Coach Carter
