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.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, what are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel
insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some
of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our 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."
- Nelson Mandela (inaugural speech, 1994)
Just wanted to share this to everyone who doubts themselves.
Well, doubting of ourselves is sometimes necessary to think about some changes.
This way is what we call evolution.
It's also true that you should not doubts all of your life, but people generally
doubts when they dunno how they are.
So I would say that doubts diseappears when you know who you are, what you can
do or cannot do and therefore being able to live for yourself. I mean how many
people depends on others? That's fine and beautiful to have friends but how many
of them will want to be with you till the end?
Just some thoughts about your quotation and thread
my fear is innate, it came with me from wherever i came from ~ thanx God,
chance, or whatever did it ~ i appreciate the DNA you bestowed upon me and the
programmed logic of senseless fear
there are many useful reasons to have fear at certain moments, but when it just
comes at every moment from any enviromental factor ~ wtf do yo do?
