Coach Carter Quote

I love this movie, it's not great or bad but very inspirational. It is making me rethink, what I want to do in life. I've always felt I would be best at being a coach, couselor or teacher. It's always been my dream. Whatever happens in my life this is what I will be doing in the end.

Quote from movie

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. …Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightening about shrinking, so that other people won’t feel insecure around you… As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "



Original Quote

"Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest 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 brillant, talented, fabulous?"
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. 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 of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in ALL of us.
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 automatically liberates others."

--Marianne Williamson from A Return to Love (made famous by Nelson Mandela in his 1994 Inaugural Address)
