Coach Carter (Widescreen Edition)

OK, this is not really a Chick Flick, but it is a pretty great movie. It is about a man who's offered the job of coach for the inner city high school which he himself attended. He accepts, but requires that the team live up to certain standards. There was one player who thought he was all that and more so Coach Carter asked him a few times what his greatest fear was. Closer to the end of the movie he finally answered with the following quote, which I love and think everyone should take to heart, including myself.

"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, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't 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.
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 everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." - Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course In Miracles (New York: Harper Collins, 1992)

I love that quote! It's very inspirational. (Ha, you're over at my house right now!) Well, I gotta go. Talk to you later.

Love,
