"Our Deepest Fears" part 2

  So i did a post about this a while back. its the movie Coach Carter. the part im talking about is when they are in the gym after the lockout ended and Timo Cruz (the thug with mix feelings of what his life should be)  stands up and answers the question Coach Carter ask through out the video. which is "what is your deepest fear?" the whole team would be in confusion with the thought.

At this part of the movie Timo answers the question finally and says "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."



The actual quote is from Nelson Mandela. in his quote theres another sentence. it says "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God."
on this past sunday. there was a girl who was ashamed of being a girl. she was  a tomboy cuz boys are so much awesomer! (true statement lol) but she just had such a hard time with coping of being a girl. finally after 15 years she accepted it. she a gorgeous, beautiful girl. but as far as going with Mandela's quote. was she the one that was asking that question... who am i to be...? im glad she bore her testimony. it really helped me out. cuz alot of the time i ask that very same question who am i to be? can i be brillant?, talented?.. i also bore my testimony. probably the best testimony meeting ive been to in a while. hear alot of great phrases. "never let your potential be limitless", "lets hang ourselves together or spiritually hang separately" such a great meeting to be apart of. everyone who shared had this qoute shot into my mind. it applied to everyone in their own way.

I truley believe this is true. ive been through sooo many trails and some days i feel like why. but i know that with our Heavenly father he will never put us through something we can't handle. i really like the line "We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone." it has been through my friends that ive been able to get through it all. as well through prayer and faith, and my wonderful siblings. we are who we are. The fact of the matter is. its what WE put in it and HOW we look at it.  and what we go through will strenghenth us in the end. i know that and testify of that.  i love this quote and i apply it to my life and recommend everyone does to. love the movie and the actors in it. a way good movie! :) i figured i put in my thoughts and such.
