Whats your deepest fear?
This is my favorite poem that I read whenever I feel that the dragon is too big to be slayed, or the task is too much to withhold. Just wanted to share this with fellow athletes!
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 does not 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 is not just in some of us; it is 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 automatically liberates others
No matter what you are faced against, no matter how big the task at hand may seem to be, find out what you fear, is it failure or success?

This poem was probably written for me. The playing small bit I identify with too much. You've developed immensely since the last time I read this blog. Congrats, I knew you could.
