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. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

I don't know that this is totally related to what you are saying but...when I am afraid I try to LOVE because Love cast out fear. I also try to think of things to be thankful. I remember to let go of Expectations. The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not become attached to outcomes but believe in the flow of His will.

I do not know who to give the credit to. I saw it in a movie, Coach Carter. One of the students said it to him. It really hit home with me though.

Yes, the quote is Nelson Mandela. But what a *beautiful* concept. It's absolutely amazing!

The quote is actually Marianne Williamson from the book: "A Return to Love." Which is based on "A Course in Miracles."

Note About Nelson Mandela

This quote is often found on the Internet incorrectly credited to Nelson Mandela from his Inauguration Speech, 1994, especially the last sentence of that quote, “As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
