What's ur 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 be brilliant, 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 great quote featured in the movie "coach carter" and a great quote from Marianne Williamson, which comes from her bk, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Coursein Miracles." A great quote, though i may not be able to manifest everything within it. But i knew i have something in it. I think our greatest fear occurs when we are unable to confront it. We let fear overtake us by not standing upon one's belief. We let it feast on our hopes, our dreams and ultimately our life. We get capitulated and soon enough our life will be embittered by all these fear, fear of losing and not achieving things in life. Sadly later, all hopes will seem to be dashed. No to the dashing of hopes but Yes, We need liberation from our fear by believeing - the faith in ourselves.

The movie set me thinking about those times in college. Those time when i am into this sports class thing. I have always been thinking that this system had failed me. Thinking that it's more like a showcase than a real thing. But now i feel i am wrong. I am grateful enough that i am in a gd sch though i have always hated the sch. But i am wrong again. It's all the attitude, the wrong one that had set me thinking this way. I guess what we lacked is the Identity. What makes us so different from others?But now i know. We are one group of students who have to play sports, preserve in our goals, keeping that ardour in both studies and sports alive, while making sure that we stay afloat in this system.. It is tough and i am proud that all of us make it trough. One big special thanks to Marcus for bringing us through this 2yrs, as a mentor, a coach and as a friend.

Memories will always be beautiful as it seemed.. so keep it that way.So Let the light shine.
God bless all.
