what is your deepest fear?

Coach Carter
written by Mark Schwahn and John Gatins

Coach Ken Carter: What is your deepest fear?
Timo Cruz: 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.

Cual es tu mayor miedo?
Nuestro mayor miedo no es que no encajemos. Nuestro mayor miedo es que tenemos una fuerza desmesurada. Es nuestra luz y no nuestra oscuridad lo que más nos asusta. Empequeñecerse no ayuda al mundo. No hay nada inteligente en encogerse para que otros se sientan inseguros a tu alrededor. Todos deberíamos brillar como hacen los niños. No es cosa de unos pocos sino de todos. Y al dejar brillar nuestra propia luz inconscientemente damos permiso a otros para hacer lo mismo. Al liberarnos de nuestro propio miedo nuestra presencia libera automáticamente a otros.
