Our 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 were all meant to shine as children do.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone.
And as 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 will automatically liberate others.

-Timo Cruz, from the Film "Coach Carter"



If you thought the soundtrack is good then the movie won't disappoint you. Faith Evans always has pain in her voice, but she always sings of hope, almost gospel like. This movie is inspired, and will inspire you. I found myself on the verge of tears and I didn't know why, noone died. Then I realized so many times in my life that was me. Falling down and being afraid of knowing that I could get up no matter how many times I was down. It is our strength, not our weakness that most frightens us. As the song goes, "I'm hopeful, yes I am, that you'll make your way. I know it ain't easy, but that's okay..."
