i literally cried at the part
Timo Cruz answered Carter's question of
"What's your greatest 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. We ask ourselves, who am I to bebrilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. 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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
a bit of research of its source n here's the answer: The quote was read byMandela at his inauguration in 1994, but he was not the original author. The quote was written by Marianne Williamson. It comes from her book, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles."
Sums up my whole life. (also very suited to the gospel today)
Teachers n frens tellin me I've hav this potential in this and that
but i've never ever achieve the kinda of success that's expected of me
Ms Nathan frm Sec sch expected me to top the sch in her Lit class saying i've a lot more
insight n depth than my rival (Sorry Giselle! *locks horns* lol).
My sci teacher nominated me 2 b prefect n tot i'd get into pure sch class after sec 2.
My eng teacher Ms Voo(buddy of Ms Nathan) tot i should b scoring for the other subjects as wel
since i understand a lot more with my language proficiency.
both have been my eng or lit teacher at some point in my life. i once wrote a 10 page essay story for composition on the topic of Love when she asked us 2 write anythin.
i wrote a story of a couple who eventually die in the end frm some accident
more indepth details r lost frm memory
i was n always hav been a mushy sensitive guy u noe
=P
my laziness has always been my bane
Dominic's email really almost broke me down when i read it
thanks pal
sorry i didn't live up 2 ya expectations.
i'm tryin my best 2 correct myself now.
anyway
a man can only get what he wants in life if he
commits himself n braces himself 4 that 1 moment of effort that mite change his life
for me it's not a moment but a long tedious process.
GL 2 myself!
