Our Deepest Fear

I came across an interesting poem while searching for Invictus (another poem). The title of this poem is called, ‘Our Deepest Fear’. I would love to share my interpretation of this poem but i think that it would not be wise. So have fun reading it :)


OUR DEEPEST FEAR
By Marianne Williamson

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's 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'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're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

First Blog Entry. Yipee!!!!

I do not know whether i need to set a standard for my blog. Whether all my entries should be professional looking and sounding or should it be casual. But whatever it is going to be, let me emphasize that this is my FIRST blog entry. Yipee!!!!

This feels exactly like doing an RJ except that now, i am the one who have to set the topic for discussion instead of the facilitators. I don’t usually quite like sharing my writings with anybody but i feel that there’s always a first time in everything and coincidentally, letting people read my “personal RJ” is one of them.


As the name of my entry goes; Why SO Serious, i will try my best to ensure that i do not contradict it. I do not want my entry to contain any negativity, although it is hard for me, I WILL TRY MY BEST. It is a vow :)
