"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. 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. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Från filmen  'Coach Carter '.

Tänker på hur ofta jag försöker att förminska det jag är och gjort för att inte "störa"... hm. Det har kanske blivit lite bättre med åren men  är något att fundera på under 2011.
